Hello,
I am so glad I found this site. I am trying to figure out how to make chicken sausage similar to the kind that is found at Wild Oats grocery store ( whole foods).
I was never much of a sausage person until I tasted these. WOW! Unfortunately they're expensive. They come in varietys like italian and spicy italian, feta cheese and spinach, black olive and artichoke, black bean and tequila, chorizo, and spicy thai. those are the ones I remember. I've been scouring sausage recipes trying to find what is in these that make them so good.
Of course now I need a way to grind chicken and stuff casing. I'm also wanting to get a sausage stuffer. I'm looking at a 5 pound vertical, like the grizzly, but it has plastic gears. I would love the LEM 5 pound, but Amazon is sold out of them, and they had the best price.
I'd love to hear from those of you with experience, and sugestions as to whether or not your happy with your equipment, and any chicken sausage recipes. Thank you, Rxwoman.

@ my other pc. Will get back wiff you though.
I have a LEM 5 pound upright SS stuffer. I like it fine. It will do 19,, snack sticks where as some of the larger one's can't. five pounds is not a lot, so you have to reload it quite frequently. We keep our sausage mix in the fridge so it stays the coldest. No issues with it. I also have a LEM #8 SS grinder. It was quite expensive, but I got it on sale, returning the cheap aluminum one I had bought earlier. Night and day difference and cleans up a lot easier. I have a cheap slicer, wang 610 I think and it's ok for my needs right now.

Casings are very expensive, so if you know where to buy them cheap, let me know. I've had some bad ones too, with the veins (or whatever it is) in them. So I guess you get what you pay for. I did order some AC Legg spices to do my winter breakfast sausage. Got some maple and some mild. Maybe more later.
