What it is
This is a pre-cooked sausage made from ground chicken, seasoned with a blend of sweet Italian herbs and spices. It has a mild, savory flavor profile that makes it versatile for many dishes. The chicken provides a leaner alternative to pork-based sausages. It comes in a convenient package, ready to be heated and incorporated into your meals.
How people cook with it
It pairs well with a wide variety of ingredients.
- Added to pasta sauces

To prepare, simply remove the sausage from its packaging. You can heat it in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or add it directly to simmering sauces, stews, or casseroles.

The pre-cooked nature means it just needs to be heated, saving you time in the kitchen.
