GRILLED TURKEY SAUSAGE KABOBS



Grilled Turkey Sausage Kabobs image

We love SOPP: sausage, onions, potatoes, and peppers all fried up in one pan. It's delicious. This a a summertime take on this one-dish staple. Instead of pan-frying it, you skewer it and grill. Drizzle with more olive oil, salt, and pepper after grilling if desired.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Sausage

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Italian turkey sausages
1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil
1 medium red onion, sliced
1 medium bell pepper (any color), sliced
2 tablespoons drained, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
1 ½ teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 (6 inch) hoagie rolls, split lengthwise

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Saute, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the veggies, then sprinkle with basil, oregano, salt, and pepper; stir until well combined.
  • Place turkey sausages in the rolls and evenly distribute the vegetable mixture over the top.
