Turkey Sausage

Never heard of turkey sausage? Well, it's time you did! Turkey sausage is a great, healthy alternative to the standard variety. Turkey is leaner and less greasy than beef or pork, but it still has all the great meaty goodness that you want in a warm break-fast or hearty sandwich. Use cooked turkey sausage in lots of varieties of omelets, sandwiches, casseroles, stuffings, and more!
