Fresh sausage is a flavorful and versatile protein, typically made from ground meat such as pork, chicken, turkey, or beef, seasoned with a mix of herbs, spices, and sometimes salt. Often linked to various cuisines worldwide, fresh sausage recipes can reflect regional tastes—Italian sausages may feature fennel and garlic, while German varieties often include nutmeg and caraway. While fresh sausages are rich in protein, they can also be high in saturated fat and sodium, depending on the recipe and preparation. Choosing leaner meats or reduced-sodium options can make this food a healthier choice. Fresh sausage is usually sold raw and requires cooking, making it a great addition to dishes like pasta, soups, or breakfast plates. Always check labels for details on ingredients and nutritional values, as recipes can vary widely.
