Taste Test Tuesday: NEW Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Links (60% Less Fat)
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

For the love of pigs in a blanket!

I know I've done quite a few Taste Test Tuesdays with various types of breakfast sausage (meatless and turkey products usually). But this is all because of my love of "pigs in a blanket".

There is something totally yummy about fresh buttermilk pancakes (I make them with part whole wheat) wrapped around a light tasty sausage link. Well this morning I made my light buttermilk wheat pancakes and tried out the new Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Links with 60% Less Fat.

They are packaged "fully cooked" so all you need to do is reheat them in a microwave or stove top (I chose the latter). This way adds a little extra browning. They tasted really good and my husband, who tends to be picky about his sausage, loved them.

The first ingredient is "boneless turkey" and the second is "water." There is less than 2% of the rest of the ingredients. The package says the serving size is 3 cooked links (68 grams) and this serving will add the following to your breakfast totals:
120 calories
7 grams fat
2 grams saturated fat
0 g trans fat
55 mg cholesterol
490 mg sodium
13 grams protein
