PRO TIPS
Freshly made sausage may be one of the most underrated meat dishes; not
only is a sausage versatile once cooked (the sky’s the limit with condiments
on a bun, or chop it into a sauce or sauté), the ingredients within the casing
give way to infinite possibilities. Piazza De Nardi’s master of meat Tony
Costanzo concocted this inventive combination of orange and smoky paprika
which brightens mild mannered turkey with citrus notes.
