Using Soy Protein

[bille]

There are truely a great group of talented smokers on this forum, I have vastly increased my knowledge of the art of smoking since I found you folks, I have also gotten some incredible recipes from here.

I am preparing to smoke my first batch of sausage in the coming weeks, my question is do any of you guys use soy protein, I have not seen it in any recipes here, I have insta cure #1, I have read what the purpose for putting soy in sausage is but am wondering what you guys do. I am planning on starting with a simple basic ingredient sausage, I will be using natural casings.

I use it to help retain moisture in the meat, A good substitute is nonfat dry milk powder. I use about 1/2 cup per 5 lbs. Piker

I always use non fat dry milk because that's what I have on hand. A big box of it is easy to come by at the grocery store.

Thanks guys, Brian I just copied your venison Kielboa recipe and see it had the non fat dry milk, I already have a 1lb bottle of soy protein so I will use it, thanks again for the responses. :)
