Quick answer
How do you know when Italian sausage is done?
Italian sausage is done when the center reaches 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer, inserted through the end of the link rather than the side. The meat should read pale with no pink translucency and the juices should run clear. Colour alone is unreliable — paprika and fennel keep cooked sausage looking pink.
