Wednesday’s Helping: Lighter Sausage –N- Creamed Gravy

Flavor that’s dietary conscious

If you need to cut the fat, the Mixed Stew crew suggests using chicken or turkey sausages instead of pork or beef.  Coincidentally, venison sausages may be a leaner bet, on the hips, but they’re still considered red meat.  Try reducing the meat to veggie ratio by creating real creamed meat gravy.  Also, add more bite by including other fresh veggies, such as carrots, bell peppers, or even green beans. Finally, remember that you can find low-sodium cream of chicken that’s better for hypertension.
