Has anyone made turkey or chicken sausages using the beef or pork recipes and substituting poultry for the beef or pork? I looked thru the recipe site and did not see any recipes for poultry sausages. My wife is a big chicken fan and I am more of a beef and pork lover. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I am trying to build a file of recipes and be ready to go when I get my Bradley.
Just substitute chicken and turkey in the prok recipes. Works for me. Turkey hotdogs are great.
I don't have a specific recipe but I like to mix turkey and pork for sausage. Turkey on it's own is pretty low fat unless you throw in some skin, the pork helps hold things together and helps with the texture and flavor in my opinion. I have made turkey sausage with a variety of seasonings and crushed croutons to help hold things together and that seems to work out ok also. Having said all that I freeze my sausage rather than smoking it.
Here is a couple that I have made. I didn't get to eat any because I sent them in to the FIL to make for the SIL and her Husband who are of the Muslim faith. I didn't tell them about the wine either since they don't drink.
Chicken Sausage
5lb chicken thighs
2 TBL salt
1 TBL nutmeg
1 tsp mace
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp onion powder
1 cup apple--1/8 in dice
1/2 cup white wine.
Grind the chix fine. Mix in apple and wine. Stuff into Hog casings. Don't overcook.
Another Option:

3 roasted red peppers
10 sundried tomatoes
1 tbl crushed red pepper
1 tbl garlic powder
1 cup crumbled feta
1 tbl onion powder
1 1/2 cup dry white wine

Thank you all for the information. This is a great start for my recipe file that I am building. The grinder from Northern Tools has been shipped and should be here next week. I will be on a business trip all week so I should have it by the weekend. Next I need to order a stuffer. Leaning toward the Grizzly 5lb stuffer.
That stuffer will do you just fine. I have the same one.
