This sausage is awesome! I used it in Penne with Spicy Vodka Tomato Cream Sauce from allrecipes...I made the sausage a couple days prior to using it in this dish...Our friends say it's the best they have ever eaten!...will definitely make again!

This was fantastic!! I used fennel seeds instead of anise and doubled all the ingredients except salt per other reveiwers. I also used ground turkey.

Taste better than store bought. Made it tonight to use in a soup recipe from here, it was very good.

Delish. I used ground chicken and added some cayenne pepper.

I used ground turkey and the flavor is perfect, just the right amount of all the spices! I did use fennel seed instead of anise (because we just like it). Ground turkey tends to get dry when it is cooking so we added olive oil. We love this recipe!

Delicious! I have been using ground beef instead of pork and it taste very much like italian sausage. It's not a staple in my cupboard.

I love this. I love the idea of making our own sausage. I get organic grass-fed ground pork from my farmer. I do add fennel seeds and omit the garlic powder (I just use fresh garlic, crushed).

Very good sausage! Where we live (Mexico) Italian sausage is not readily available but some comfort foods from home (like meatloaf) really need it. Never would I have considered actually making my own! Very easy recipe. I go a little heavy on the spices and use fresh garlic & onion. A word of warning, I am accustomed to sausage with a longer shelf life because all of the preservatives. Just takes a little adjusting to remember to freeze what you aren't going to use right away, besides, it freezes very well.

Followed the recipe exactly, using lean ground pork. I made the mixture into patties and grilled them on the BBQ. Excellent! Will definitely make this again.

I used this recipe with ground lean turkey to put on pizza with sauteed mushrooms and skim mozzarella cheese (trying to be more healthy). I don't like sausage typically (something about the flavor/texture), but it did taste like sausage, and I did eat some of it. And my fiance seemed to like it, even though he usually hates all forms of turkey. Not a bad recipe, and it's probably a lot better with ground pork.
