How did I get this recipe?

The memory of discovering this recipe for the first time is a happy memory that I will always cherish. It all started one summer day when I was visiting my dear friend, Mrs. Jenkins, in her cozy little cottage nestled in the countryside. Mrs. Jenkins was known for her delicious home-cooked meals, and I was always eager to learn new recipes from her.

On that particular day, Mrs. Jenkins had a special surprise for me. She had been experimenting with making her own homemade turkey sausage, and she wanted me to be her taste tester. As soon as I took my first bite of the juicy, flavorful sausage, I knew I had to learn how to make it myself.

Mrs. Jenkins was more than happy to share her recipe with me. She explained that she had learned how to make the sausage from her own grandmother, who had passed it down through the generations. It was a simple recipe, but the secret was in the seasoning – a blend of herbs and spices that gave the sausage its unique and delicious flavor.

I watched intently as Mrs. Jenkins went through the steps of making the sausage, from grinding the turkey meat to mixing in the seasonings. She showed me how to shape the sausage patties and cook them until they were golden brown and perfectly cooked. The aroma that filled her kitchen was heavenly, and I couldn't wait to try making the sausage myself.

Once I returned home, I immediately set to work on recreating Mrs. Jenkins' homemade turkey sausage recipe. I gathered all the necessary ingredients – fresh turkey meat, a mix of herbs and spices, and a touch of maple syrup for sweetness. I carefully followed the steps that Mrs. Jenkins had taught me, making sure to season the meat just right and shape the patties with care.

As the sausage sizzled in the pan, filling my own kitchen with the same mouthwatering aroma I had experienced at Mrs. Jenkins' cottage, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. I had successfully recreated her delicious recipe, and the taste brought back memories of that wonderful summer day spent in her company.

From that moment on, homemade turkey sausage became a staple in my own recipe collection. I made it for family gatherings, potlucks, and special occasions, always receiving rave reviews from everyone who tried it. I even passed the recipe down to my own children, just as Mrs. Jenkins had done for me.

Over the years, I have continued to experiment with the recipe, adding my own twist here and there to make it truly my own. But no matter how many variations I try, the memory of that day spent learning how to make homemade turkey sausage from Mrs. Jenkins will always hold a special place in my heart.

And so, every time I mix the seasonings, shape the patties, and hear the sizzle of the sausage in the pan, I am reminded of the joy of discovering a new recipe and the bond that can be formed over a shared love of cooking. Mrs. Jenkins may no longer be with us, but her legacy lives on in every delicious bite of homemade turkey sausage that I make.
