In reply to Joyce. Hi Joyce! Yes, you can definitely use fresh garlic and onion instead of the powders! Just finely mince them so they mix well with the sausage. That said, I do recommend still using onion powder if you have it. It infuses into the meat a bit more evenly than fresh onion does. As for herbs, both parsley and basil work great as well as rosemary, so feel free to use whichever you prefer. Enjoy making your sausage!

In reply to Spitfire. You are very welcome!! We just made a batch for our stuffing. I have one coffee grinder that is just for rosemary and fennel. I hope you enjoy and please let me know how it turns out.

You are a life saver! I ran out but I have the ingredients to make my own! I use Italian sausage all the time, however I normally buy it in bulk. I knew what the ingredients where but you are the first one to say to use a coffee grinder for the the fennel seeds that I have! Thank you!

I tried this Italian sausage recipe for the first time last night and my family couldn’t get enough! The seasoning blend gave the sausage incredible flavor and everyone went back for seconds. I’ll definitely be making this again soon!

I can’t thank you enough for this recipe. As a novice cook, I was initially intimidated, but your clear instructions and helpful tips made it a breeze. I’m proud to say I pulled it off!

In reply to Melanie. Hi Melanie! That makes me so happy that you love Primal Pastures also. Basically I just meant you will get the equivalence of two packages of Italian sausage, similar to what you would but at he grocery store.

It says this has 2 (in blue) 3/4 packages (in black) . We mix this into 1-1/2 pounds of pork? I’m not sure how to read that.
Found you on Pinterest while looking for sausage recipe. We love Primal Pastures. They’re a great family and wonderful farm. Cheers!
