Chicken Sausage on Pizza

Chicken sausage from Holiday MarketRegular readers know that I’m obsessed with the pizza sausage from Hollywood Markets, a local chain of grocery stores in Southeast Michigan.

The only down side of this sausage is that they hardly ever have it in the meat case, and I have to special order it.

Since I was in another favorite store, Holiday Market in Royal Oak, I checked out the meat case there to see what they might have. This led me to try the dried tomato-basil sausage, made with chicken and turkey.

It is great to have so many choices of locally-made products. Like the pizza sausage, this one is made in the shop by the meat department.

Oh, yes, this one is good, too!

I fried it in a [popup_product]skillet[/popup_product] before adding it to the pizza. You do have to watch it closely. The dried tomatoes and other ingredients can burn if you’re not careful.

This sausage goes nicely with my favorite sauce, Pastorelli. It has a savory zing, spicy but not overpowering.

Now I’ll just have to make a pizza with some of each, and do a taste comparison. Any excuse for more homemade sausage pizzas!

Pizza Sausage – Give Up – NOT

Sausage pizza

Dear Governor Granholm,

I like you, but I won’t be giving up my Hollywood Markets pizza sausage this Saturday night.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had some really good vegetarian food, and I make a pretty mean tofu lasagna myself. And, better health is a worthy goal, too.

But I’ve been eating pizza without meat for years and years. I’ve paid my meatless dues.

Now that I have found a wonderfully zesty, Michigan made sausage, spiced just right to go on a pizza, I will be having it on Saturday night!
