Trader Joe’s Uncooked Chicken Sicilian Sausage With Fresh Tomatoes and Romano Cheese
I have to say, I have grown to be pretty weary of buying chicken sausages in general. In theory, the concept is great! Lean meat, not so fatty, tastes almost like a pork sausage, but without all the guilt. And unfortunately most of the time the things just turn out to be a big let down. Most of the ones you find in stores are pre-cooked, often times packed with sodium, and cook up to be so dry its just not even appetizing anymore. This time though, they really knocked it out of the park! These chicken sausages have just the right amount of fat in them to maintain a good juiciness. The taste is also on point. You get a subtle little flavor burst from the Romano cheese, and the spice mixture they have used here adds just the right amount of heat. And at 170 calories a link, I feel like you get a lot of flavor bang for your “caloric buck”! The cooking possibilities are endless too! Just this week with this most recent package I’ve bought I have used them as a standalone protein in a quinoa and kale dish, I’ve fried them with my eggs as a breakfast meat, and I’ve removed them from the casing, mashed them up with other ingredients, and used them in making a stuffed bell pepper. Let us know what you’ve used them for down below! And also what you think! $3.99
