For the sausage lovers..

Hey folks!

I happened across a sausage type mix, that is delicious, cheap, and lower calorie than the store bought stuff.

Now here is a Disclaimer - I've no idea what goes into the real stuff - I just happened to throw this together and was amazed at how much it tastes like sausage. So much so that I am using it interchangeably - as a topping on homemade pizza, in omelettes, you name it. Incredibly flavorful..

Recipe:
1 lb Ground Chicken (not lean, just plain old ground chicken) - I believe the average is around 180 calories per 4 oz raw weight
2 tablespoons of old bay seasoning
1 teaspoon of dehydrated chopped garlic

mix the above in a bowl as you would for meat loaf to combine
put mix in skillet and cook thoroughly, breaking up into small chunks(like crumbled sausage)

I weighed mine out in single portions and bagged then froze. One 3.5 oz cooked portion is approximately 180 calories. It might be closer to 3.25 oz but I have to reweigh when I cook the next batch to confirm.

I use about half of that on my pizza or in my omelette, so it's less than 100 calories for a serving, and has massive amounts of flavor the texture is very sausage-y - which I think is maybe due to it being non-lean chicken -just regular ground chicken.

Anyhow - I promise you won't regret it if you try this. let me know what you think.
