Weis Spinach & Feta Smoked Chicken Sausage
What it is
This is a fully cooked sausage made from chicken. It is infused with the flavors of spinach and feta cheese, and then smoked. The combination offers a savory and slightly tangy profile. The chicken provides a leaner base compared to pork or beef sausages. It is ready to heat and serve, making it a convenient option for quick meals.
How people cook with it
This sausage is versatile and can be incorporated into many dishes.
- Added to pasta dishes

To prepare, you can simply heat the sausage through. Pan-frying or grilling are popular methods that can add a nice char. It can also be simmered in sauces or added to casseroles. Ensure the sausage is heated to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for optimal safety and enjoyment. The pre-cooked nature means it doesn't require extensive cooking time, just warming.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional pork sausages, this option uses chicken, which is generally leaner. The inclusion of spinach and feta cheese provides a distinct Mediterranean-inspired flavor profile that sets it apart from plain or herb-seasoned varieties. The smoking process adds another layer of complexity.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portions promptly. Store in the original packaging or an airtight container. It should be kept cold to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Proper storage ensures the sausage remains safe to consume for several days after opening.
