Ember Farms Turkey Sausage Links
What it is
These are pre-cooked turkey sausage links, skin-on, and frozen. They are made with a 16:1 grind, meaning there are 16 parts lean meat to 1 part fat, which contributes to their texture and flavor. The sausages come in a 10-pound package, making them suitable for larger households or events. They are a convenient way to enjoy sausage without the need for extensive preparation.
How people cook with it
These versatile sausage links can be a quick addition to breakfast or a flavorful component in various meals.
- Breakfast scrambles
- Sandwich fillings
- Pasta dishes
- Appetizer platters
To prepare, simply heat the frozen sausage links. They can be pan-fried over medium heat until browned and heated through, or baked in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway. Microwaving is also an option for a quick reheat. Ensure they are thoroughly heated before serving. Their pre-cooked nature means they are ready to eat after heating, saving time in the kitchen.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh sausages, these pre-cooked links offer convenience and a longer shelf life when frozen. The skin-on preparation provides a satisfying snap when bitten into, distinguishing them from skinless varieties. The 16:1 grind indicates a leaner profile than some traditional pork sausages.
How to keep the rest
Keep these sausage links frozen until ready to use. Once thawed, they should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within a few days. For best quality, avoid refreezing after thawing.
