Pork and Turkey Sausage (Pre-cooked) - How Many Calories?

Identifying pork and turkey sausage

USDA record 07957 describes a pre-cooked mixture of pork and turkey. It is different from all-turkey sausage or beef sausage. Chicken and pork bologna is another distinct mixture and product type. The reference provides 342 kcal, 12.05 g protein and 30.64 g fat per 100 grams.^[1]

How many calories are in one sausage?

Length and thickness vary, so one sausage has no universal calorie value. The reference serving is 57 g, providing 195 kcal and 6.87 g protein; that serving does not necessarily mean one link. A weighed 30 g amount provides 103 kcal. For an identified brand, use its own weight and nutrition label.

Does turkey make it lower in fat or sodium?

Turkey in a meat mixture does not by itself establish low fat or low sodium. Reduced-sodium cooked pork sausage is a separate reference whose numbers should not replace those for this mixture. A 57 g serving of this reference contains 499.32 mg sodium and about 5.63 g saturated fat. Cheese, olives and sauces add their own sodium to the meal. Bread and toppings also make a sausage sandwich different from a portion of sausage alone. Calculate the bun and its fillings from the separate ingredients. The piece and sodium calculation for Oscar Mayer cheese smokies is a separate product example: its reference piece weighs 9 grams and should not be confused with a full-size sausage.

Using a pre-cooked product

Extra frying oil is not included in these figures. Follow your pack's reheating and storage instructions; the reference term “pre-cooked” does not establish that every brand can be eaten cold. Do not transfer these cooked-product values to raw sausage in a recipe. This record contains pork: the word turkey does not mean pork-free or establish halal status.
