Oscar Mayer Selects Smoked Uncured Turkey Sausage
What it is
This is a fully cooked sausage made from turkey. It is naturally hardwood smoked for a distinct flavor. The sausage is uncured, meaning it does not contain added nitrates or nitrites, which are often used as preservatives in processed meats. It is designed to be a convenient and flavorful addition to meals.
How people cook with it
This sausage is versatile and can be incorporated into various dishes. It is ready to heat and serve, making meal preparation quicker.
- Added to breakfast scrambles
- Sliced into pasta dishes
- Grilled for a quick meal
- Used in casseroles
To prepare, simply heat the sausage according to your preference. It can be pan-fried until browned and heated through, grilled for a smoky char, or added directly to dishes that are already cooking. Since it is fully cooked, the primary goal is to warm it and develop its flavor. Avoid overcooking, which can make the sausage dry. It pairs well with a variety of seasonings and other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike some other sausages, this one is made from turkey, offering a leaner alternative. The natural hardwood smoking process imparts a specific depth of flavor that differs from artificial smoke flavorings. Its uncured nature also sets it apart from traditional cured sausages.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused sausage in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within a few days to maintain its freshness and quality. Ensure it is kept cold to prevent spoilage.
