Lovebird Longganisa (Filipino Sausage!)

• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 3/4 cup pineapple juice
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 6 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
• 1 teaspoon peppercorns ground
• 1 teaspoon ground sumac

1. combine all of these ingredients in a large bowl; mix well with hands.
2. cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to marinate for at least one hour.
3. lightly mist your hands with cooking spray. scoop some of the mixture and form it into patties, about 2.5-3 inches wide.
4. if cooking, pan fry over medium heat with a light mist of cooking spray. as they cook, the sugar will begin to carmelize. flip halfway through to cook both sides evenly. a glaze will form naturally from the pineapple juice and brown sugar.
5. if freezing instead, keep formed patties on the wax paper until they are frozen. keep separated by wax paper to prevent them from sticking together. thaw completely before cooking.
6. serve hot with freshly made rice.
