Dry sausage

[wyoelkfan15]

Does anyone run into an issue with their sausage mix feeling dry prior to stuffing into casings. I'm not sure if my fat to venison percentages are too high, I usually try and run a 75%-25% venison to fat mix. When I end up stuffing the sausage it comes out super dry in the frying pan. Any suggestions?

Did you mix any water in?

Definitely mix ice water in. Also, use some oil in the pan.

What kind of sausage are we talking about? That percentage of fat shouldn't cause it to be too awfully dry.

In my experience the moisture content to fat ratio can affect how it cooks. Your fat ratio is good I would say all that you’re missing is adding some moisture in.

Trying an Irish breakfast sausage recipe. It might have been more like 30% fat, I still need to run it through the fine and stuff it in casings. I will try some ice water and see if that helps. Thanks for the advice guys!
