Lamb Sausage Stuffed Quail

PinPrint

For my birthday I received a box of semi-boneless quail from Broken Arrow Ranch. We had some guests over so I decided to make something up using food we had on hand. They turned out way better than I expected.

I made a two pound batch of sausage which was enough for 12 quail. I only cooked 8, so I froze the rest of the sausage for next time. I’d estimate about 3oz of sausage per quail.
