Johnsonville, Sheboygan Falls, Wis., introduced new Applewood Smoked Chicken Apple Split Sausage.

This new naturally smoked chicken sausage boasts real pieces of apple, about half the fat and calories of a pork sausage and is the first chicken sausage in Johnsonville's Smoked Sausage line for foodservice customers.

The split format of the Applewood Smoked Chicken Split Sausage is an ideal addition to sandwiches, paninis, eggs benedict and breakfast sandwiches.

"Our new Applewood Smoked Chicken Split Sausage was made to help operators introduce better-for-you foodservice options with the help of a new and exciting flavor," says Sarah Babb, director of foodservice marketing. "Johnsonville makes it easy to indulge your customers' growing appetite for smoked flavors and on-trend culinary ingredients, but also keep up with consumers' desire for healthier options."

The Applewood Smoked Chicken Apple Split Sausage comes frozen, 10 pounds to a case, for storage convenience.
