Recipe Australian style Sausage Rolls

[Wombat457]

Why do you say to leaf bout the beef broth?
I would think it works well (when taking out or reducing the water, and adjusting salt if needs be)?

I think that was what made them "soggy" I never used it before so was just experimenting a bit = thought the broth would give it more flavour.

I'd rather have them "firm" than soggy thoug; therefore, I think I'll leave itout next time and cut the water in half as well. I don't know just too many liquids maybe - water, oil, broth ?

Ahh I just re read what you posted and yes - that would an option - keep the broth and dump the water

And don't add all at once.
Leave a bit behind, then "knead" and feel if it needs more liquid.
Add if needed
Keep some bread crumbs close by, if it's too wet, use those

Thanks for the tips badjak - all help and advice is very much welcomed.

Generally, for making sausage a recommended amount of water is 1 cup for 5#. Depends on the fat content and how you're amalgamating it.

This is what I go for:

I was curious about this recipe, any pastry to wrap the sausage mixture, so I found this recipe online. I have bacon and lamb fat, wonder if I can make with ground lamb.

Thanks Wombat457, I didn’t know that, when I look at your picture and recipe I didn’t see the pastry. Sausage roll newbie here, lol.

I’m thinking perhaps I can make it with ground turkey, would it work.

I'd imagine you could make them out of anything you wanted - lamb might be really good with rosemary added?

For me it comes down to taste more than anything - hence all of the seasonings. The meat isn't that important to me but I prefer beef because it is more readiy available and can be used for a variety of things as well. To exlain that - wegmans only sells two sizes of packaged minced beef (hamburger) small and giant. Small isn't enough, as a rule, to make much of anything while the giant is too much for any single dish, so we use it for multiple things, spag sauce, chilli, meat loaf etc etc.

Absolutely. Turkey is lean on fat so plan on an addition. Figure the fat % you want and make it up with bacon, or whatever. That's what I do.

I have at least a pound of lamb fat, with some meat around it. Why waste.
