Kosher Turkey Sausages
Kosher turkey sausages are savory and versatile whether grilled, baked, or boiled. Serve with all the fixings for a delicious lunch or casual dinner.
The Backstory: Since I now live alone, my way of eating has dramatically changed. Dinner for one sometimes consist of anything between two slices of bread. Or how about frozen foods? Whatever is in the freezer that will cook in little time–that’s for me. Usually that is pizza, hot dogs. pot pies, etc. Occasionally I will defrost a piece of salmon, chicken or meat and cook for myself. In order to do, I typically defrost that item in the fridge overnight, so by the next day, I’m good to do…if I feel like eating it. More of the Backstory after the recipe…

…The Backstory continues: Sometimes, I wait another day as my mood has changed. Whatever. But one of the item that I really look forward to preparing is Turkey Sausages. They remind me of the grilled sausage vendors in New York and once I start going down memory lane, well, then I feel like cooking. A trip to the market is a must for the good stuff to accompany the sausages. I like to serve this with either french fries or coleslaw and a pickle. Any cold beverage will do. I have made this for company and eliminated the bun, but added rice or pasta. Your options are widespread. Enjoy.
