493.0. "Turkey Sausage" by OCTAVE::ROCH () Fri Aug 11 1989 12:48

    I put a note in the COOKS note file stating I discovered Turkey Sausage
    at the grocery store last night and wondered if anyone tasted it.
    
    I thought it more appropriate here to ask if anyone not only tasted it,
    but knew the calorie count.  The ingredients are turkey, water, sugar
    and seasonings....and the package reads 90% fat free/10% fat.  They
    look just like sausage too....
    
    Thanks,
    Vicki

493.1There are different kindsATSE::BLOCKOh my God, you're from the SIXTIES!!Mon Aug 14 1989 11:2710
	What brand of sausage are you looking at?  Is it packaged as links 
	or as a roll?  I've had the Turkey Store Italian Sausage, and 
	the Wampler Farms Breakfast Sausage, both packaged in 1-lb rolls 
	(frozen).  Both were very good, and reasonably low in fat (there 
	was a lot less to drain off than with regular sausage).

    I think it's Brook Farms - NOT frozen and in links.  The same brand
    name sells ground turkey.  Not definite about the name, though - will
    check at the store.....
    
    Thanks....

493.4LOUIS RICH'S TURKEY SAUSAGEOFFPLS::DESHARNAISThu Aug 24 1989 12:2818
    I just noticed this note and wanted to give you my input.   I
    discovered Louis Rich's Turkey Sausage in the frozen section with
    the sausages, etc.   The dietician I see recommended it to me as
    I am lactose intolerant and had to give up yogurt, milk, etc. for
    breakfast.   I belong to Overeaters Anonymous and have spoken to other
    people who also need protein but can't eat dairy products.   I just 
    love it.  It taste like pork sausage, spicey but not overly.  I 
    have been thrilled with it!  I defrost the roll and slice of 3 oz
    and pan fry it in the morning.  I can't beliveve it is Turkey! I'm 
    still losing weight eating this almost every day.
    
    Good luck

493.5Read the labelsCHOVAX::GILSONThu Oct 26 1989 14:055
    We have tried both the Hillshire Farms and Louis Rich at our house
    and even those who aren't concerned with the fat content liked them.  
    Read the label for sodium content though.  The Louis Rich was VERY
    high.
