Chicken Sausage From Scratch
Chicken sausage recipes are not easy to find on the web. I had some chicken thighs and was looking for something versatile to do with them.
apple, chopped
1
onion, chopped
1
small
garlic, minced
3
cloves
tomato paste
1
tablespoon
ground sage
1
tablespoon
celery seed
1
teaspoon
anise seed
1
teaspoon
ground marjoram
1
teaspoon
ground allspice
½
teaspoon
salt
½
teaspoon
ground black pepper
½
teaspoon
skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1
pound
 Combine apple, onion, garlic, tomato paste, sage, celery seed, anise seed, marjoram, allspice, salt, and pepper in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until softened and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  Pulse chicken thighs in a food processor until coarsely chopped, then process until ground. Transfer to a bowl and fold in apple mixture until well combined.
  Scoop 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture with a large melon baller and form into a patty. Repeat with remaining chicken mixture to make 11 more patties.
  Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add four patties and cook until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the skillet and repeat to cook the remaining patties.
