Is turkey sausage high in cholesterol?

Answer 1

All animal-based foods contain some cholesterol, so yes, turkey has cholesterol. The amount is low compared to red meats, though, and depends on the cut; turkey white meat has less cholesterol than turkey dark meat. Since a substantial amount of the cholesterol is contained in the skin and any fatty tissues, the cholesterol you consume in turkey can be reduced if you remove the skin and fat before eating.

Answer 2

No, turkey bacon does not have high cholesterol. While it has much lower cholesterol than regular pork bacon, it should still be consumed in moderation.

Answer 3

Turkey sausage can be considered high in cholesterol. It can be healthier than pork sausage, but should not be consumed if you are concerned about your cholesterol levels.

Answer 4

Some brands of smoked turkey is high in cholesterol. Not all brands of smoked turkey are high in cholesterol though.
