A freshly cooked Italian chicken sausage is just as good as its pork and turkey counterparts — with an array of added benefits that make them widely favored amongst sausage fanatics as well.
Whether you’ve never heard of this poultry option or are hesitant about the change in flavor, we guarantee you’ll love our Premio Chicken Sausage and the benefits it boasts.
