1 1/2 pounds boned and skinned turkey thigh meat, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 pound boned and skinned turkey breast, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 pound high-quality pork fatback, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/4 cup white wine
2 jalapeno chiles, stemmed, seeded, and minced
2 teaspoons ground dried chipotle chile, or 1/2 chile en adobo, rinced and finely chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves only, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons sea salt
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons canola oil

1
On a plastic tray covered with plastic wrap, freeze the turkey and fatback for 30 minutes to firm.
2
In an electric standing mixer with the food grinder attachment, or in a food processor, grind the meat and fatback together in short bursts.
3
It should be chopped rather than pulverized, and should remain somewhat chunky.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meats with the wine, chiles, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
5
Wash your hands thoroughly and mix together by hand until all the ingredients are well blended, but don't overmix or the meat will become warm and mushy.
6
Refrigerate for 2 hours, covered, to allow the flavors to marry.
7
Form the sausage mixture into flat patties, approximately 3-inches in diameter.
8
In a large non-stick pan heat 2 teaspoons canola oil over medium-low heat (or heat a well-seasoned flat griddle pan).
9
Saute the sausage patties until golden, turning once with a flat-ended nonstick spatula and draining the fat as necessary.
10
Drain briefly on paper towels and serve hot.
