I thought 3T salt was a little much but did it anyway and the sausage came out very salty, and I’m a salt fan.
This is an old post but just a warning for anyone using this recipe.

I took a bit of a risk and made 40 lbs of this. Wow was it worth it! This is definitely a keeper. Mouth was watering the whole time we finished grinding it and stuffed some into casings…

Honestly I’m a baby haha! I don’t like biting in to the whole fennel pieces and I think the powder spreads out nicely throughout the sausage, but it is totally an unnecessary step 🙂

Is there a reason why you grind your fennel seed. Traditionally fennel seed is left whole in Italian Sausage. I make a bunch of really good Venison jerky every year also.

I do a bunch of game bird sausage and you’ll want to use the 70/30 meat/fat ratio and it is really stringy so make sure it is good and frozen and use your largest grinding bit. Other than that, we love it! We made a Canadian goose jalapeño cheddar sausage and a duck one using Sophie’s Italian sausage recipe here and both turned out terrific as hot off the smoker or cold sliced into a charcruterie.

Do you have a low / no salt venison sausage recipe. Or a substiute for salt in the italian venison sausage recipe?
Thank you,
Larry Garrett
