How to make it keto
Confirm the sausage does not contain fillers like breadcrumbs or high-carb starches. Request it be served with sautéed bell peppers and onions (ensure no sugar added) instead of starchy sides.
Watch out for
Fillers in commercial sausages (breadcrumbs, potato starch). Hidden sugars in pre-made marinades or sauces. Sautéed vegetables can increase carb count if portion is too large.
