Yummm, this sounds like my kind of food spiritwolf! I just love sundried tomatoes, they are so tasty, and would be delicious with the turkey, etc. I will make this soon, but tell me - where do you buy the casings from?

Hi Abbey, you can get casings from your lcal butcher. If you can'find any you can always make them into patties.

I've been known to use it in my lasagna. Adds a nice bit of zing to it. If you make links out of it, then you can make sausage sandwiches, in a hoggie roll. I also use it in my eggplant parmesan. You can even serve it with your eggs in the morning. The possibilities are endless. Enjoy
