Thanks I know how to make my own burgers, I did to Home Economics as a Standard Grade and was rather good at it, unfortunately I have no room in my 2 small drawer freezer to bulk make burgers though xx

For me, sometimes bulk making would be I need 2 now, so I make 4, so I don't always go mega.
 
I tried Tesco chicken sausages yesterday. Very nice

Talking of chicken sausages, I was looking at the 'Heck' range. Oddly, their plain chicken sausages are double the carbs of their flavoured versions. I don't get that.:confused:
 
I have tried Heck sausages but find the skin too tough and they are very small. Tesco chicken sausages are fat and yummy!
 
Haven't see those. Will have a look when I am there next and try the chicken ones, but can't eat the pork.

They do a naked range now without skin and they’re better. Naked pork and chicken

I had a look at them on their website, they seem a little carb heavy to me? xx

Like I mentioned earlier, I found the Heck chicken sausages quite carb heavy. Probably add fillers & sugar to make them taste better. Their standard pork ones a much lower carb.
 
I’ve just looked up Heck chicken Italia sausage ingredients. The main binder (not filler) is pea flour, with some rice flour. Total carbs for two (grilled) is 1.6g.

Chicken content is 85%, which is pretty good for a commercial sausage. There is some sugar in the seasoning, but clearly not a lot.

If their pork sausages are lower carb, that’s going some!
 
I was referring to their naked range of sausages not their normal range
 
Ah, sorry Kaylz. Two naked sausages is 6.9g carbs.

The trouble with naked sausages is you need more binder to keep them sausage shaped when cooked. I don’t use them because they tend to fall apart in something like a sausage and bean casserole. Fine for a sausage butty, though🙂

My feeling exactly. I couldn’t bite through the skin on the last lot I got! 🙄

I wasn't aware they did their own turkey sausage? xx

I felt sure they used to, but they seem to have a far smaller display of fresh turkey in general these days, not sure why. I often used turkey fillets instead of chicken in dishes in the past.

I just checked their website, the only turkey sausages they have on there are the heck brand thai I think they were xx

This is what I founds as odd. I have a packet of the Italia chicken sausages in the fridge, but when I looked at their basic chicken sausages, there are 3.5g carb for two. OK, not shocking, but being chipolatas, I would want at least four.:D

Hang on, what? Sausage burgers in Tesco? Why haven't I discovered these earlier? This is BIG news, @Kaylz! I usually make my own for a sausage & egg McMuffin but now with these beauties, it will be so much easier! Hope our Tesco sells them. Our Tesco is useless! They have a habit of discontinuing everything I buy.

Hi Paul and welcome to the forum 🙂
Have you introduced yourself here in the newbies section? You are often better creating your own thread as often things can be missed in topics regarding other things 🙂

Ah didn’t realise that K. Must admit I got them because the chicken Italian are very low as mike says. Must have missed that!
