Honeysuckle White manufactures different products made from turkey, including many types of turkey sausage. Turkey sausage can be more nutritious than traditional pork sausage; however, you still should enjoy it in moderation. Turkey sausage still tends to contain significant levels of sodium, which, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, can increase your risk of high blood pressure. It also contains significant levels of cholesterol, which, according to the Centers for Disease Control, can increase your risk of heart disease.
