Do you have a favorite brand of precooked chicken sausage or other sausage that is under 200 calories? Sometimes I like to cut the links up and mix with a big batch of sauteed veggies for a quick and easy meal. Some of the brands I have tried are really good and others are nearly inedible. Would love to hear your favorites.

    Open Nature chicken andouille style, 120 cals one link.
    That said, anything can be under 200 cals if you eat less than 200 cals worth...

    I like the Sam's Club Member's Mark Spinach Asiago chicken sausage, and the Johnsonville Smoked Turkey Cheddar Sausage (I know, not exactly chicken, but similar and tasty!)

    There is no need for chicken sausage to score more than about 1.1 cal/g, however, the manufacturers put bunches of crap ingredients in like corn syrup and they end up being about 1.5 cal/g.

    Trader Joe's is really good and they aren't tiny links.

    Mighty Spark Mild Italian-Style Chicken Sausages are the best I've found for calories and sodium. Their other flavors have different values, be aware.

    Why not make your own? Its so simple.

    I could. I plan all of my meals for the week in advance. But the question was prompted by a day where my plans just got totally shot to *kitten* and I had to come up with a something quick and easy. My husband had bought a package of Aidels Andouile chicken sausage, so I was able to make it a quick and easy meal because I always have fresh produce and canned tomatoes on hand. I decide that they are not a bad thing to keep on hand because they have a pretty long shelf life if the package is unopened. I thought the ones he bought were just okay, but I have tried a few others in the past and some of them were horrible so I didn't want to waste my money experimenting.

    I really appreciate all of the input!

    I love the ones you get at Costco, but can't remember the name LOL. Johnsonville chicken and apple is good too.

    Al fresco spicy jalapeño is by far the best in my opinion!

    Do you mean the spinach & feta chicken sausages that Costo has? I enjoy those as well. They are under 200 cals but I can't remember the exact amount.
