When choosing the perfect sausage for your casserole, selecting a low-calorie option is a wise decision to maintain a healthier and lower-calorie dish.

Here in Canada, I often prefer turkey or chicken sausages. They come in decent sizes and are available in Mild or Hot Italian varieties, which complements this casserole wonderfully. Vegetarian sausages are also an excellent option, catering to vegetarians. While pork sausages are typically flavourful, they tend to be higher in calories. Opting for a low-fat type may help reduce the calorie content, but it can result in a slightly dry texture when cooked.

Simply choose your preferred variety and adjust the calories accordingly to suit your taste preferences.

Sliced or Whole Sausages in a Casserole?

If you're opting for a high-quality sausage that may be higher in calories, a helpful trick is to slice it into small pieces rather than adding it whole into the casserole. Slicing the sausage allows it to stretch further, as you won't need to use as much sausage.

I often employ this technique when preparing this casserole if I'm unable to find a low-fat sausage. It's just as flavourful, and my kids adore it, as the small sausage slices resemble mini sausage meatballs.

However, when I manage to procure some of my favourite Mild Italian Turkey Sausage, I add them in whole for an extra delicious touch to this Sausage Casserole.

Sides for Sausage Casserole

If bread is a weakness for you with a casserole or stew, a great way to combat the craving for something starchy like that with your casserole is to serve it alongside some crispy Roast Potatoes or this Garlic and Herb Roast Potatoes.

or one of my favourites sides to serve alongside this is this delicious Rustic Garlic and Parmesan Mash there is also this Mashed Potato and Mashed Sweet Potato if you prefer just regular mashed potatoes.

If you are trying to be healthier and include more vegetables then a great side option is this Sour Cream and Onion Cauliflower Mash
