Jimmy Dean D-Lights Turkey Sausage Breakfast Bowl
By: | Oct 21, 2008
There is no doubt Jimmy Dean has some delicious food products out there, however their nutritional values are just crazy - and not in the crazy-good kind of way we'd like it to be. Thanks to more health-conscious customers, Jimmy Dean now carries a "light" product line - their D-Light Breakfast Sandwiches and Bowls.
I tried the Jimmy Dean D-Lights Turkey Sausage Bowl which includes egg whites, potatoes, turkey sausage crumbles and reduced-fat cheese. The scrambled egg whites had a sort of rubbery texture - a similar complaint can be found in the review of Jimmy Dean D-Lights Black Forest Ham Breakfast Sandwich, but the potatoes were fairly good although they could use a little bit more flavor. The turkey sausage and reduced-fat cheese were delicious. Everything combined together actually made a decent breakfast and I have to say that Jimmy Dean pulled it off.
The nutrition of the D-Lights Turkey Sausage Breakfast Bowl is much better than the regular ones with half the calories and half the fat. One bowl has 245 calories, 7 grams of fat (11% of the RDA), 3.5 grams of saturated fat (17.5% of the RDA, 19 grams of carbohydrates, of which 2 grams are dietary fiber (8% RDA) and 21 grams of protein.
I purchased this at Wal-Mart for $2.99. I'm still borderline about whether I would buy this product again. The taste is pretty good, and while the nutrition facts are not stellar due to the high saturated fat, it certainly was filling and much better than some other breakfast options out there - including the fat and cholstrol laden regular Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls - dietTrash!

I know these didn't get the best review, but I feel like the food industry is starting to do something right when Jimmy Dean at least attempts to make a lightened product, ya know?
I just had this for breakfast today. I agree that the potatoes could definitely use some more flavor, and the cheese is just absolutely pointless. Overall, with the exception of the sage-intense turkey sausage, this thing is definitely on the bland side and could use some extra seasoning. I don't think I'll be buying it again.
If you add some picante sauce or hot sauce you won't comprise the lower calorie count while adding flavor.
For the number of calories you are consuming, the flavor is quite good. In my experience, egg whites always have a rubbery texture so just know that's how its going to be...whether you make them yourself or have them in this dish. I sprinkled a little hot sauce over mine and made it a little more delightful. But all and all, this is a great bowl..full of protein, filling, great portion size, and not very many calories. What else could you ask for?
