JP, I have plenty of sausage recipes, just let me know what you like. For fresh pork sausage I use pork butt, if they have not been pumped. You could also buy some ground pork, kinda pricey but is ground fresh. CF

Hello CF and thanks for the reply. I'm looking for a normal type of sausage I could use for gumbo and red beans and rice plus a breakfast sausage would be a nice change from my low sodium diet. However, all the pork in my area has been brined (full of salt) and I will have to make it out of beef or venison. 
Any recipe you have would be appreciated. Thanks.

JP, you thinking links or bulk sausage, Smoked or raw. Another source for plain ground pork (not brined) would be maybe a local processor. I will go through my beef and deer recipes today. CF

I have made this one using beef or goat, more to come. CF
Syrian Sausage
2 lb Leg of lamb; ground once
2 tb Fresh tarragon; chopped
2 ts Ground coriander seed
1 ts Allspice
2 tb Red wine
1/4 c Pine nuts
1 tb Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
5 Feet narrow sausage casing*
Butter and olive oil
6 Individual pita rounds
1 Bunch coriander; chopped
*Note: If you wish to skip the casing step, form the sausage meat into
patties and saute until brown.
To make the sausage meat, combine the first eight ingredients in a
large bowl. Mix well with your hands. Using a sausage stuffer or a
pastry bag, stuff the casings, twisting every 3 inches.
Saute the sausage in a mixture of half butter and half olive oil until
brown, turning occasionally. Serve in pita rounds, sprinkled with
plenty of chopped coriander. Makes 6 servings.

JP, just another thought. Sausage can be made from most any meat, even shrimp or chicken.

Glamorgan Sausages
Sausages are usually made with meat, these are made mainly from grated cheese mixed with breadcrumbs, herbs and chopped leeks or onions.
The recipe varies so you can make it up as you go along. place to place, so they are sometimes quite spicy, and sometimes not.
Use egg yolk to bind the mixture and roll into small sausages.
The "skin" is made by rolling in flour, dipping in egg white and then rolling in breadcrumbs.
Glamorgan Sausages are usually served with potatoes.

Basic Tasso
Traditional Tasso is made from pork but that has been cut into strips approximately 2 x 4 x 1 inch thick. Some often use boneless pork strips.
Pig Meat
3 parts plain salt
2 parts Brown sugar
2 parts fresh black pepper
1 part cayenne
1 part white pepper
2 parts paprika
1/2 part celery seed
1 part onion powder
1 part garlic powder
1/2 part cinnamon
1/2 part mustard seed
Coat heavily and refrigerate 2-4 days before smoking. Heavy smoke at 200-225 until internal temperature reaches 165.
Cured Tasso
6 lbs pork loin cut into 3 or 4 pieces
6 TBS Morton Sugar Cure (plain)
6 tsp brown sugar
2 TBS cayenne pepper
1-1/2 TBS black pepper fresh ground
2 TBS white pepper
4 TBS Hungarian paprika
2 TBS onion powder
2 TBS garlic powder
1 TBS cinnamon ground
1 TBS mustard seed ground
1 TBS celery seed ground
1/2 cup water
Cut the pork loin into 3 or 4 managable pieces. Mix all spices well and remove 2 TBS of the spice cure mixture. Dissolve the mixture into 1/2 cup water and inject equal amounts into the pork lion pieces. Evenly rub the remaining cure mixture into the pork, place in plastic containers or baggies and refridgerate at 40°F for 10 days to two weeks.
At the end of the curing period rinse off the loins under cold water then allow to stand in cold water for at least a half hour. Remove from water, pat dry and allow to air further air dry.
Bring the temperature of your smoker to about 190-200°F. Smoke the loins under heavy smoke for about 6 hours or until an internal temperature of 150°F is reached.
