ryan yoder The maple sugar will give you a subtle flavor, I add real maple flavoring in addition to the sugar to kick up the maple taste. If you add too much sugar your sausage will become really sweet and unless that is what you are trying to get as well you will probably want to add flavoring as well. I find the sugar doesn’t quite add enough flavor and ends up more like a maple brown sugar flavor rather than straight maple. How much to add also depends on how much sausage you are making and what you are using as far as seasonings, pre-packaged vs. homemade.
Goose breakfast sausage

Hi Guys,
I am thinking of trying to make some goose breakfast sausage, any ideas on a recipe out there?
-
Montana Yooper Wow, that might be amazing. Looking forward to see any ideas from all these crazy guys.
-
I’m interested in opinions on this too.
-
Montana Yooper I think it would make some great breakfast sausage. I like the Holly sausage blend and have used it with elk and venison and antelope with great results. I mix it with ground pork butt and maybe a little extra fat. If you like it spicy just add a little extra ground pepper flakes.

mdseaside Folks here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan are called Yoopers. The mix of U & P has morphed into that slang term for the residents of the ceded land from OH. The stretch of land north of Wisconsin

As soon as I sent the reply I thought of Upper Peninsula. My wife’s best long time friend moved there about 5 years ago. But no I am a born and bread Oregonian.

Growing up in Canada goose was a normal part of our diet but never had it in a breakfast sausage

Montana Yooper transplant from WI. I got stationed at K.I. Sawyer. We live south of Marquette. We transferred in from CA, it was a bit of a weather and culture change. We like the area, winters are long, but summers are nice. The area is changing.

Several years ago we were waterfowl hunting a fair amount and trying to figure out ways to use wild duck meat.
We made some very good breakfast sausage from 50/50 ground duck breast and ground pork jowls for the meat block.
I think wild goose breasts would substitute nicely for the duck. I don’t have access to the pork jowls anymore, but 50/50 pork butt and pork fat would work instead of the pork jowls. -
processhead I found that Gumbo was my best bet for both the Goose & Duck. However, I knew a guy who could make some absolutely delicious smoked Duck & Goose Jerky. It was really good. Not much waterfowl hunting going on for me any more, but it used to be the thing for a long, long time & in the worst of weather while having a grand old time.

calldoctoday I had a friend who hunted the first spring snow goose hunt they had in TX, he had a freezer full of snow goose breasts and was wondering what to do with all of them. I took a bunch and made him jerky, and it was really good.
-
bocephus When did they start doing that in Texas? There seemed to be no shortage of them, that was for sure, but they were wary son of a guns too.

A friend of mine has had good success making tasty jerky from goose breasts.

calldoctoday It was quite a while ago, you could use electronic calls and unplugged guns, he said the first year was an amazing hunt.
-
bocephus Wow, That is amazing & hard to imagine for all effort we had to put into it. We have been here for quite a while now. They must have been making some serious effort to reduce the population, but sounds like the wily old geese got wind of it all.

I think that Johnothan has made some check into his videos

Dr_Pain Do you feel like your child hood weekend breakfasts were now lacking!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
