Biggest Winner Breakfast Sausage

JackieGK's Note:

This is a recipe from the Biggest Loser cookbook and is a personal favorite of mine. We ask our butcher to ground pork tenderloin. I usually have this for breakfast with a Western Alternative Bagel, egg/egg substitute and FF cheese. You can also chopp this up in omlets or other egg type dishes. A very healthy alternative to sausage. If you don't like pork, ground turkey or chicken is easily substituted. Don't be intimidated to make your own sausage, it's easy, and takes no time at all.
