Morphology
The compound 'sausage meat' is directly compositional: combining 'sausage' (seasoned meat product) with 'meat' yields meat used for making sausages (i.e., the minced/spiced filling). This follows a common noun+noun pattern in English and similar constructions exist in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Sausage meat comes from the simple kitchen image: it is the meat that is chopped and mixed with spices to fill a sausage. So, the name means the chopped, spiced 'meat used to make sausages' or to cook as patties.
