What it is
These are pre-cooked sausage links made from ground turkey. They are designed for quick and easy preparation, offering a savory breakfast option. The sausages are typically seasoned to provide a classic breakfast sausage flavor. They come in a convenient package, ready to be heated and served.

To heat, you can use a skillet or microwave.
