Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Shoestring Fries

Dinner Tonight: Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Shoestring Fries




To start my morning off I toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin that I topped with  Smucker’s Sugar Free Blackberry Jam. I also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. It

was in the low 30’s this morning when I went out to fetch the morning papers. It was cloudy and mid 40’s out for the day then. Mostly cloudy and a high of 50 degrees today. We need some bright sunny days around here, these cloudy and gray days are getting old! After Breakfast I headed to Meijer for a few items. Then picked up Breakfast for Mom at McDonald's.  After Lunch we headed up to see Dad for a while. He's not doing good at all, the Dementia is advancing quickly now. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Shoestring Fries.




I used the healthy and delicious Jennie O Lean Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages. I had a package of two in the freezer so I let them thaw overnight in the fridge. I pan fried them, using Pam w/ Olive Oil
Cooking Spray and no oil needed. Heated the pan on medium and cooked a total of about 17 minutes, turning the Sausages occasionally. They fry up plump and brown, as always Jennie – O Products always have that fresh taste to them. The Sausages have 160 calories and 0 carbs per Sausage. I served it on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Bun and topped with French’s Spicy Brown Mustard. Love these, thank you Jennie – O!




Then for a side I baked some Alexia Organic Yukon Select Fries. The more I have these the more I’m liking them! Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn Medley. Baked them at 425 degrees for 18 minutes. They bake up beautifully and seasoned just right, excellent Shoestring Fry! Plus they are only 120 calories and 15 net carbs. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.
