Fuji Apples, Chicken Sausage, Brussel Sprouts & Sweet Potatoes. A Delicious Flavor Medley and a High-Protein, Low-Carb Lunch or Dinner
Jump-To: Ingredients Instructions
Vegetables and meats! Sometimes a simple and easy bake can make a great meal. This is one of those "chop 'em up and throw 'em in the oven" recipes for busy Saturdays with the kids or a big game-day Sunday buffet. Also, chicken sausage is a great substitute for pork or beef sausage.
Chicken Sausage vs. Pork Sausage
I love substituting healthy ingredients - it's a great way to make your favorite meals just a little more healthy. Chicken sausage is one of those substitutes. Common pork sausage can have up to 455 calories, compared to chicken's 160 calories per link. As for fat content, pork sausage can contain up to 38 grams. A much leaner meat, chicken sausage only has up to 10 grams of fat.
What's even better about chicken sausage is that this healthy ingredient substitute doesn't require any sacrifice in nutrition. In fact, quite the opposite is true. A chicken sausage link from Premio contains up to 13 grams of protein to support lean muscle production for all my weight-lifting enthusiasts out there!
This is an excellent high-protein meal recipe, full of vegetables (brussel sprouts) and healthy starches (sweet potatoes). Enjoy!!
