While indulgent, these sausage balls provide protein which helps with satiety. To make healthier, use turkey or chicken sausage and reduced-fat cheese. Consider whole wheat baking mix for added fiber. The jalapeños add vitamin C and capsaicin, which may boost metabolism. For a lighter version, make smaller balls and serve with yogurt-based dips. The protein and fat content makes these more filling than many appetizers. While delicious, enjoy in moderation. Consider serving alongside fresh vegetables for balance.
