Sausage made at home using lean ground pork often contains less fat than many commercially prepared brands. The amount of fat can be reduced even more by buying a lean cut of pork and asking the butcher to trim all visible fat before grinding the meat.
Use vegetable cooking spray in the skillet to help keep the sausage from sticking.
