the champ's sausage without guilt*
Start your day with a sizzling sausage patty that doesn't just taste good — it's low in fat,
low in cholesterol and high in niacin — a healthier option than bacon and eggs. This
moist, flavourful sausage, served on wholemeal toast, makes the complete breakfast.
Use minced turkey breast. It's lower in fat than turkey containing dark meat and skin.
Turkey, especially the light meat, is a good source of niacin, an important B vitamin
needed to maintain a healthy nervous system.

1 lightly beaten egg white
1 small finely chopped onion
1 red Delicious apple, chopped fine
4 tbsp seasoned breadcrumbs
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped fine
