Since I am allergic to pork, I had to find an alternative to the classic sausage balls I made. I decided to try turkey sausage. I wasn’t a fan of ground turkey as a substitute in things. I always preferred ground chicken. But I like turkey bacon, so I thought it was worth a shot. And to be honest, I actually prefer it to pork sausage. It isn’t as greasy and has a much better overall taste. If you google turkey sausage ball recipes you find a lot of different ones. I kept mine simple. I simply used the classic recipe and just switched out the sausage. And to make it a bit less in calories, I also use fat free cheese. However, I do NOT add tabasco sauce to it anymore! I honestly forgot I did before, ha! So if you are looking for something a bit healthier, or just want to try something new, try this!

Sausage and cheese seems like an easy enough recipe that a recipe really isn't necessary, right?  Well it probably isn't, but this is one I have only made twice, and I love it.  I was introduced to this about 4 or 5 years ago at a restaurant called Champy's.  It is back in Muscle Shoals, AL, and my family all went there for dinner one night.  We ordered a smoked sausage, cheese, and pickle plate.  It was so good, my mom would recreate it on occasion for holiday gatherings or just as a snack.  Huey's in Memphis also has a similar appetizer.  It is just called a cheese and sausage plate there, but it contains similar items as Champy's...sausage, cheese, pickles, pepperoncini pepper, crackers, and dipping sauce.  Well one weekend when we smoked ribs, we wanted a light lunch.  We decided to make this as a snack that day.  See how we made it below!
