This delicious Sausage Ragu is made with turkey sausages for a lower fat alternative to a family favourite meal!
For the past few years I’ve been making this Sausage Ragu Recipe and the kids absolutely love it. Using regular pork sausages, the calorie and fat content can be a bit high so I decided to make another version, this time using turkey sausages and also with some added veggies.
These are the Turkey Sausages that I used. I buy them in Sainsburys. You could also use Chicken Sausages too, they would be equally as delicious!
For my portion, I served the ragu with 75g of cooked tagliatelle and then filled the rest of the bowl up with salad leaves. So delicious and super filling!
For the kids I mixed the ragu with the tagliatelle and served just as it is with some parmesan shavings on top.
I absolutely love sausage ragu and I’m thrilled that I now have a healthier version to enjoy!

I used chicken sausages and it worked really well. I used the Tesco ones and it was a really tasty dinner.
