If you are using ground poultry you should be cooking to 165 instead of 160° if you are using beef/pork. Another idea is when did you mix in the pork fat? When adding pork fat the best time to add it is during the grinding process if you are mixing it in after the grinding you run the risk of having the fat encapsulate the proteins and make it difficult for everything to bind together properly.

Last thought would be to add a binder like Sure Gel or Soy Protein Blend that will add some protein to your product and make protein extraction easier. If you are looking to firm it up more I don’t know that Carrot Fiber would be the best choice.

It may have something to do with the sausage not getting as firm as it should. I used the cotto salami on duck breast with pork fat. It sure tastes good. But it’s a little soft.

Can you give u some more information on your process?
