What You Should Know

Applegate Naturals Turkey Savry Sausage Patties are a refrigerated breakfast-meat option you’d spot in the meat and deli aisle — usually in the natural/organic refrigerated case or tucked near other breakfast proteins like pork sausage links, bacon, and precooked turkey bacon. Packaged in a clear plastic tray or vacuum-sealed film, the small round patties are sold as a convenient ready-to-heat item for quick mornings. They present themselves as a cleaner-label alternative to conventional breakfast sausages: the front label highlights antibiotic-free turkey and “natural” positioning, with short ingredient lists and executive claims such as “Turkey Never Administered Antibiotics,” and federal hormone disclaimers. There is no organic certification visible on the ingredient list, and the product emphasizes simple-sounding ingredients — turkey, water, a pinch of cane sugar, salt, spices and rosemary extract — to appeal to health-conscious shoppers and parents seeking perceived healthier protein for kids. Sensory experience: the patties are soft but springy when raw, browning to a tender, slightly crisp-edged surface when pan-fried; aroma is mildly spiced and savory rather than strongly smoky. Rituals for this product include fast weekday breakfasts — slap a patty on an English muffin with cheese and egg — or batch-cooking on meal-prep Sunday to reheat through the week. In plain processing context, these are processed meat patties made from ground turkey formed and seasoned with small amounts of added water, salt and sugar; they are not raw whole-muscle meat but also do not contain an extensive list of industrial additives. The brand targets shoppers who want convenience without the look of heavily industrialized foods.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from ground turkey with added water, salt, cane sugar and rosemary extract, this is a processed meat product rather than an unprocessed whole food; it lacks the long list of industrial additives that would push it into ultra-processed (NOVA 4).
