    Honeysuckle White, Yumm!, I really enjoy their sweet Italian sausage links on a regular basis and imagine their brats are equally as good too. I find them at the supermarket meat departments where I shop.

    I had the kroger brand with jalepenos, They were actually really good. I like a brat sometimes, and I LOVE kraut. Good excuse.

    I like the Johnsonville chicken sausages and there was a brand at Walmart that was good. They were something with chicken/apple/gouda I think, but I can't recall the brand...very tasty though.

    Johnsonville are very good. In my area we have Giant Eagle grocery stores and they have a brand called al fresco, which are delicious. I love to grill them, slice and have on a salad. Good luck

    You might want to look at your local butcher shops. A lot of them have started making their own chicken and turkey sausages. The one by me makes a spinach feta that is out of this world!

    Are you not eating pork brats because you gave up pork?

    If so, be careful and read labels.
    A lot of sausages, kielbasas, and such have a pork or beef casing so you really need to read the labels.
    Different flavors within brands have different casings - like there's 2-3 types of Johnsonville I can eat but most I can't.

    I was just ,looking for the leanest, best tasting option. I do love pork
    but believe poultry meat is leaner . I might be wrong? Idk, also lower
    cal is appealing as I have a caloric budget. :)
