Can you make homemade summer sausage with turkey?!


Question: Can you make homemade summer sausage with turkey!?
We made some excellent homemade summer sausage using ground beef!. I would like to make it with turkey, but I can't find a single turkey summer sausage recipe online so i'm wondering if maybe turkey won't work the same for some reason!. Our recipe was ground beef, curing salt, and a lot of spices!. You mix it up and let it sit in the fridge for 3 days, re-mixing each day!. Then you form into logs and cook at 200 degrees for 8 hours!. Thanks for any help!Www@FoodAQ@Com
