For some people who may be trying to lower their saturated fat intake, white meat, like that found in poultry like chicken and turkey, can be healthier to consume on a regular basis than red meats like beef and pork. But there are some dishes that call for the use of traditional red meats, like sausage, and if you’re trying to lower you red meat intake, chicken sausage can come in handy. Like the turkey burger before it, chicken sausage is a healthy alternative to eating pork sausage and can be added into a variety of recipes as a lower-fat protein.
We’ve selected some chicken sausage recipes for you to try that are nutritionally-dense, while still packing in a ton of flavor. Read on, and for more healthy recipes check out 28 High-Protein Breakfasts That Keep You Full.
