The company has been expanding its breakfast sandwich business recently to meet a growing consumer demand for hot, nutritious breakfast products that are lower in fat. The idea that sparked this new product came directly from consumer research, which showed that mothers have a need for a nutritious breakfast alternative for their children. The product also needs to taste great and be easy to prepare – especially for hectic mornings before school.  

According to Larry Odom, the president and CEO of Tennessee Pride, "We listen to our customers to keep our product offerings in tune with their changing needs. The new Turkey Sausage Biscuits are a perfect solution for families seeking a new breakfast option. They have 60% less fat than our regular Sausage Biscuits, contain no MSG, and have only 100 calories per sandwich."  

The new product is being offered to all Tennessee Pride retail customers and is available in various grocery stores, including Bi-Lo, Food City, Food Lion, Hy-Vee, Ingles, Jewel, Kroger, Lowes, Piggly Wiggly, Publix, Schnuck's, Shopper's Food Warehouse, Shop 'n Save and Walmart.
