Crainium Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Is there such a thing as Whole30 compliant sausage, and if so what should I look for? Are there brands you've tried that I can find at the supermarket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted April 30, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 30, 2013 You can't go by brands. Some varieties may be okay while others are not okay. I've never found any name brand sausage that is okay, but have found sausage in the meat case at Whole Foods occasionally with no off-plan ingredients. Sugar is usually the problem, but sometimes there are other fillers in sausages that make them not okay. I've found so little sausage that is okay that I've made my own a few times by taking pure ground pork and adding my own spices to make it sausage - salt, garlic powder, chipotle chili powder or crushed red pepper flakes.

Krista Billows Rodriguez Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I just use plain ground meats too with a little salt and pepper, often topped with a bit of homemade mayo. Very yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I always have homemade sausage balls in my freezer at all times. I take them out of the freezer and when defrosted the next morning I make a patty and pan fry it with two gooey eggs. So good. For every one lb of ground pork, lamb, beef or bison: 1/2 tsp salt 1/2-1 tsp pepper 1 tsp fennel seeds 1 tsp dried chili flakes (I like spicy) Finely chopped fresh (or dried) sage Finely minced green onions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keianna Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I usually make my own sausage patties with ground pork and seasonings. However, WF has a chorizo that is packaged, compliant and extremely delicious chopped up in an omelet or grilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAK911 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 We DIY pork breakfast sausages with ground pork, shredded apple (just a little -- it adjusts the texture of the meat a bit), fresh sage, and salt and pepper. There are lots of sausage recipes around that either are or can be adjusted to be compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xacerb8 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I've gotten some compliant breakfast sausage from US Wellness Meats. Ingredients: Natural pork, salt, rubbed sage, ground red pepper and black pepper http://www.grasslandbeef.com/Categories.bok?category=Gourmet+Pork They sell compliant bacon and beef jerky, too. I also got oxtails once and made the *best* soup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crainium Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 What a great resource, xacerb8! I live in NYC and have problems sourcing good meat. I will give this a whirl. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
