Pork sausage is typically made with meat from the shoulder, belly, or leg of the pig. The meat is finely ground, and may be mixed with other ingredients such as bread crumbs, herbs, and seasoning. Pork Sausage is an excellent source of protein and also contains niacin, vitamin B6, zinc, selenium, and phosphorus. On average a 3-once portion of Pork Sausage has about 150 calories, 17 grams of protein, and less than 10 grams of fat.
