Watch out! Some brands of turkey sausage use pork casing, as I discovered this evening. I ended up cutting casing off, cooking it until browned sides, then sliced into chunks. I'd never tried turkey Italian sausage before & didn't care for the chunks of gristle? So I'd use different meat next time. - 3/3/13
