I recently purchased the Michael Ellis recall DVD, watched it, and started the restrained recall with Kaya today at a park a few minutes away. Is a 15 minute session once per week a workable schedule or should training be more frequent?

IMHO, three five-minute sessions would be WAY more productive than a single longer session, especially when you want something to be enthusiastic, such as a recall.
I also don't reserve recall for just scheduled training. I still practice it with my reliable 4yo GSD everywhere we go.
ETA; I also prefer multiple short sessions to one-day-a-week training. I've found that it keeps my dogs sharper and ready to train at the drop of the hat.

Double ditto! When I had inside dogs tv commercial time was a perfect 3-5 min training period. Downright excellent for marker training on most any behavior.
