Things worth knowing
- One small breakfast link (13 g) has about 51 kcal / 215 kJ, three links about 154 kcal / 646 kJ, and one patty (27 g) about 107 kcal / 447 kJ.
- Three links contain about 360 mg of sodium, roughly 16% of the 2300 mg Daily Value.
- Cooked fresh turkey sausage is about half the energy at 196 kcal per 100 g, with much more protein (24 g), while pan-fried pork sausage is 325 kcal.
- Barbecue-style sausages common in the UK and Australia weigh several times as much as these small links, so check the pack weight and use the per-100 g figure.
