My wife says that she would love to have the sausage that Pizza Hut or
Dominos use on their pizza. That is not exactly our question (request,
though not a bad idea).

I am sure that most of the Italian sausage has as its main ingredient
lean ground pork. What cuts could make a difference.

Obviously the key to great tasting Italian sausage is the spices and
quantities of spices used.

Please find us one or two great Italian sausage recipes. We do not
want to make the "weiner" kind of sausage, just the little balls you
put on pizza.

God bless you to know and do His will!

Dear rainbow!  Wow! 10 stars in one day. Put them in your rainbow!
Thanks so much for 3 recipes, different recipes, web sites and some ideas.

Now I gotta find what "fennel" is in Spanish!
Look out Pizza Hut!!

Blessings.

Great work, rainbow! That turkey one sounds really interesting.

In my experience, one thing that helps to make a pizza sausage extra
tasty is fennel. I add extra fennel when I make Italian sausage.
Plenty of freshly-chopped garlic, too. Fortunately, my husband eats it
with me, so he's still willing to kiss me. ;-)

Hello pinkfreud.
Thanks for your comment and personal experience. That adds weight to
what rainbow found and pasted.

Hi John,

"Hinojo" is fennel in Spanish.

Note also that the first recipe has anise seeds, which have a similar
flavor to fennel seeds.  I think fennel seed is the more traditional
though, and I agree it is one of the keys to great Italian sausage (of
the pizza variety - Italy actually produces a great many additional
sausages, some of which are also commonly referred to as Italian
sausage, others by other names).
