How people cook with it
This versatile sausage is a quick addition to many meals. It can be easily crumbled, sliced, or added whole.
- Breakfast scrambles

- Pizza toppings
- Stuffed peppers
To prepare, simply remove the sausage from its packaging. If it is in a bulk form, you can crumble it directly into a hot skillet and cook until browned and heated through. If it is in a casing, you can slice it into rounds or remove the casing and crumble the meat. It can be added to sauces, sautés, or baked dishes. Ensure the sausage is fully heated before serving to enjoy its full flavor and texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional pork Italian sausage, this turkey version is leaner. The spice blend aims for a similar sweet Italian profile, but the base meat provides a different flavor and texture. Turkey sausage is often lighter and can absorb other flavors more readily.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of the sausage promptly after opening. Store it in an airtight container or the original packaging, ensuring it is well-sealed. It should be consumed within a few days of opening to maintain freshness and quality.
