Day--15 Johnsonville Turkey and Cheddar Sausages

We had some cheese hotdogs last night, so lets bump it up to some turkey sausages! Johnsonville as we have seen can be really hit or miss with their flavorings, but for the most part they haven't been too much of a disappointment for me.

These come as the precooked kind and are advertised as containing 50% less fat than other sausages. Sweet, so you can feel good about yourself after eating these......well......if you could cut out the cheese chunks that is. This is a pretty simple and plain meal to make so don't expect anything amazing out of these sausages.

Right away when you open up the package you can see the bits of cheese stuffed inside of these sausages. The white color and casing more than likely adds to that as well, but, they grill up just like all of the other precooked Johnsonville products and don't turn color much after being done on the grill.

I burned the hell out of my mouth on these though! So be careful! I wasn't expecting that much cheese to be packed in there, but there was, and it felt like a molten lava explosion in my mouth. Give these some time to cool down before serving, especially to children.

As for taste, they are decent. You get the definitive taste of turkey when you bite into the first portion of it. Then it is followed by the cheddar cheese, and more turkey, and you get the picture. No additional seasonings, no spices, just turkey and cheese. Which that might not be a bad thing for many of you out there. This sausage does what it is advertised to do and that is provide the consumer a turkey and cheese sausage with no extra frills and whistles. It's like the Honda Civic DX. It may only have AM/FM radio and no power accessories, but it is a car that will get you where you need to be at a reasonable price.

For the few cheese based sausages we have reviewed in this blog, this one does give you an absolute taste of cheese when you bite into it, but that being said, don't expect much more. Go ahead and pick these up if they are on sale (like I did), but pass up on them if they are at the full price.

Tomorrow we have yet another cheese infused sausage (and no it is not the Better Cheddar either!).
