How people cook with it
These sausage muffins are a versatile addition to many morning meals. They heat up quickly and pair well with a variety of breakfast staples.

To prepare, simply heat the sausage muffins until they are warmed through. This can be done in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side, or in a microwave for a faster option. They are already fully cooked, so the goal is just to achieve a pleasant serving temperature. You can add them to breakfast sandwiches, serve them alongside eggs, or incorporate them into breakfast burritos or bowls. Their uniform shape makes them easy to handle and incorporate into various dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional pork sausage, turkey sausage generally has a leaner profile and a lighter flavor. This specific product is also pre-formed into convenient muffin-sized patties, unlike bulk sausage or links, making portioning and cooking simpler.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused sausage muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should be kept cold and consumed within a few days for optimal freshness. Ensure the container is sealed to prevent drying out.
