The ingredients for Cudighi ("Yooper" Sausage) are:

3.6 lb Pork, fresh, loin, top loin (chops), boneless, separable lean and fat, raw
16 oz Turkey, Ground turkey, 93% lean
0.75 tsp Black Pepper, ground

0.4 tsp Allspice
0.4 tsp Nutmeg, ground
0.4 tsp Cinnamon, ground
6 fl oz Red Wine
4.5 tsp (C) Garlic, minced, 1 tsp

Here is how you make Cudighi ("Yooper" Sausage):

Have the pork coarse-ground (don't trim the fat)...I ground it myself, using coarse grind plate the first time and the second time I used the smaller grinding plate. Mix together salt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Place ground meats in a heavy duty mixer to work everything in. (You can also mix it with your impeccably clean hands). In a small saucepan combine wine, a cinnamon stick, garlic and 1 clove. Bring to a boil and boil the mixture for 5 min. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely. (Be sure to use a good red table wine, I used Bolla Chianti). Strain the mixture reserving the liquid and work liquid into the meat. Let the meat season in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. At this point the meat can be made into links, patties or left in bulk and frozen if desired. **I used about 1 tsp. ground cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. of ground cloves as I did not have the whole spices. If you use ground spices you don't have to strain the liquid. I also did not strain out the garlic).Serving Size:?Makes 5 1-lb. servings/packages
