Cooked Italian sausage is a flavorful and versatile protein, traditionally associated with Italian cuisine. Made from ground pork or a pork-beef blend, it is seasoned with a mix of herbs and spices such as fennel, garlic, paprika, and black pepper, lending its distinctive aroma and taste. Available in mild or spicy varieties, it can be part of hearty dishes like pasta sauces, pizzas, and sandwiches. While high in protein, it often contains a notable amount of saturated fat and sodium, making portion control important for balanced nutrition. Some versions may include preservatives or artificial additives. Healthier options include sausages made with leaner meats like chicken or turkey, or those labeled "all-natural" or "low sodium." Cooked Italian sausage offers rich flavor in many dishes, but moderation and mindful choices are key to enjoying it as part of a healthy diet.
