    Good tip. I've also had them cut into rounds.

    Oh yeah, where are you getting the turkey sausage? All I can ever find is the precooked stuff!!!

    It isn't always easy. Most supermarkets stock prepackaged in the meat case near the poultry section if they carry it, and some have loose flavored turkey/chicken sausages in the case with unwrapped meat. I've used Italian sausage, and liked it. If you see a flavor that sounds good, try it.

    I was looking for it today, and couldn't find in in most stores. The Fresh Market offered to make it for me, but I did find it in WalMart. I usually buy links and take the meat out of the casing. I often buy more than I need and freeze it for the times that I can't find it. Plain ground turkey works, but it is a bit dry (not enough fat).

    Hey thanks Lyle, I appreciate it!

    I don't use pork at all, nor red meat, though for shepherds pie I will use Lamb, it just isn't right without lamb!

    I bet Fresh Market offered, how many hundred of dollars a pound did they want to do it!!! That place kills me!!!

    I didn't think of just taking the stuff out of the casing, though the only ones HT has are Itallian, don't care for the anise. I started using the 15% turkey because of the dryness, much better flavor really!

    I tried this recipe on Christmas Eve. It was a big hit! I wish I'd made two or three batches. They came out perfect and round out of the deep-fryer.

    Incidentally, I was talking to a fellow at a party last night who mentioned that he liked to make Scotch eggs, but he breads them with cracker crumbs and bakes them instead of frying them. He puts them in muffin tins and bakes them for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. I may try that variation as well.

    For the sausage meat, I can usually get it at the local butcher. If I miss there and need it bad, I will get the frozen stuff at the supermarket. Jimmy Dean regular works real well. I have mixed the pork sausage meat with ground turkey at about 50/50 with good results and bigger smiles from the lady diners.

    I made a batch of these with great success a couple of years ago (when this popped up before) and LOVED them. I need to give them another go...
