What it is

Cooked turkey sausage is a processed meat product made from ground turkey, seasoned, and typically pre-cooked. It is a leaner alternative to pork or beef sausage and is often seasoned with spices like sage, pepper, and salt.

Why it's used

Turkey sausage is added to foods for its savory flavor and protein content. Manufacturers use it in a variety of breakfast items, frozen meals, and entrees, providing a familiar meat component.

Health notes

Turkey sausage is considered a standard food ingredient and is not subject to specific FDA additive regulations. Like other processed meats, it can be high in sodium. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified processed meats as Group 1 carcinogens, meaning there is sufficient evidence that they cause cancer in humans, particularly colorectal cancer. This classification is based on extensive research, but the risk is considered to increase with higher consumption.

Allergen info

Turkey sausage is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless wheat-based fillers are added, which is uncommon.
