Healthy Egg Sausage Bake

Turkey sausage is a great alternative to pork for those trying to lose weight. This is because of the lower fat content, approximately half of that in a pork sausage.

Turkey sausage also contains a large number of vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, C, E, B6 and B12. It also contains more protein per serving than pork but do note that it is higher in sodium. Turkey sausage provides good levels of folate, thiamine, niacin and riboflavin.
