Italian Sausage Mix

There are hundreds of varieties of sausage made in Italy, using anything from fennel pollen to curry powder for seasoning. For our Italian Sausage Mix, we added a common sausage spice—fennel—to our Italian herbs mixture, along with some India Red Chile flake and Tellicherry Black Pepper. Use it to add sausage flavor to ground beef or turkey.

To turn a pound of ground beef into Italian sausage, we recommend using about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of our Italian Sausage Mix. Start with 1 tablespoon, mix it thoroughly into the beef, and then cook a small portion to taste. If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can add up to an additional half tablespoon.
