Sorry. There's no such thing as "low fat" sausage. There's lower fat, but the fact is that, fat wise, a regular sausage is terrible for you, while a low fat sausage is "just" awful for you. If you're trying to lose weight, forget any sausage.

You can make your own sausages or if you don't want to do the casing thing, sausage patties but it's up to you how much fat you add to them. Be prepared for the dryness of sausages with less fat. They aren't very moist or flavorful. YOU can even do them with turkey meat or chicken if you want.

have you tried turkey sausage? it's not bad at all. I'm on a low-fat diet as well (Weight Watchers). it's a lot lower fat that regular sausage.

As much as I love pork, I find it OK to substitute vegetarian or even vegan products in my everyday diet to satisfy that craving. There have been some pretty significant advances in tvp and vital wheat gluten products, so they aren't as tasteless and pasty as they once were. This is not to say that they are a perfect substitute and are not *that* much better for you, but if you are trying to lose weight, you have to make some sacrifices. I figure that if I use those things to satisfy "everyday cravings", then I appreciate it even more when I enjoy the real thing on special occasions. Here are a few tips for finding a product that will help you: Do not expect a perfect meat substitute, but explore some of the more unusual flavors. I have found one or two breakfast sausage substitutes that satisfy particularly because they use sausage spices (sage, thyme, red pepper, black pepper and salt). Look for those things on the package. Don't be discouraged if you don't find a great one right away. It took us quite a few tries before we found something that worked for us. Luckily there are quite a few on the market. Try out some new recipes. I have found that serving these with various sauces (even gravy - but you have to be careful there if you're cutting fats) and bean dishes are an ideal accompaniment. One of our favorites is an Italian dish with lentils, onions, tomatoes and garlic. Lentils are a great bean since they cook through in about a half an hour. Cook them separately without salt, then sautee onions until browned, add garlic and dried whole thyme, oregano and marjoram (I like a little crushed red pepper to taste) for no more than a minute. Add several chopped fresh tomatoes or a 14oz can of crushed tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes or so on medium heat. Salt and pepper to taste (remember that you are going to add this to unsalted lentils so a little extra is good). Mix together with the cooked lentils and heat through. Serve with any German-style sausage substitute (there is, I think, a Harvest Brand veg sausage that makes some very nice flavors - of course you could always eat them on a bun with some kraut and mustard). Hope this helps. Cheers
