Hiya,

I'd been making a ham & cheese omelet for breakfast many days, but because I wanna cut way back on sodium, I've cut the ham and the cheese out of my ham & cheese omelet. Obviously, it's not quite the same.

I've got red and green peppers in there, along with some spinach and green onions, but I'd like to add some kinda meat. Is there such a thing as a low-sodium ham? Man, I'm missing my ham...

Suggestions?

Thanks! :)

    Hilshire farms makes mini turkey sausages. They are delicious in an an omelet or even by themselves. 5 links:

    I try and eat as low sodium as I can. Ham, processed lunch/breakfast meats are basically off my menu. I do treat myself to the Jimmie Dean turkey sausage crumbles as they are a lower sodium option. Unfortunately there is not much out there for low sodium breakfast options.

    I just saw Boar's Head and Sara Lee both have low sodium meats at the deli counter. Just ask the worker to cut them thicker for your needs.

    Does it have to be ham???? What about some low sodium turkey bacon... or some low sodium soy meat crumbles (taste better than it sounds).... or some low sodium sliced turkey meat.....?

    Butterball makes some killer low sodium bacon at 25 cals a slice. Boar's Head also has low sodium ham.
