Turkey Sausages With Spicy Beans Recipes

SPICY BEANS WITH TURKEY SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until heated through. Stir before serving. Freeze option: Freeze cooled stew in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little water if necessary.

TURKEY SAUSAGE AND PEPPER SKILLET

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook turkey sausages until they begin to brown and firm up, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and let cool slightly before cutting into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices; they will not be completely cooked at this point.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over high heat. Quickly stir-fry onion until it begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add peppers and continue cooking over high heat, stirring constantly, until peppers begin to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcrowd the skillet in order to get a nice char on the vegetables. Mix in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Return sausage, and any accumulated juices, to the skillet. Season with crushed red pepper, salt and pepper and reduce heat to medium. Stir to combine and continue cooking until sausage is no longer pink in the center, about 2 minutes more.

Steps:

• Heat a large high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to heat. Once hot, add the sausages and brown on all sides, for about 8 minutes total. Remove the sausages from the pan to plate and reserve.
• Add the garlic, and saute until golden and brown. With a wooden spoon, stir in the chopped tomatoes and red peppers and season with salt and pepper. Lower the flame, and cover the pan with a lid, simmer for 10 minutes, until the tomatoes have broken down and thickened to a sauce-like consistency.
• Add the browned sausages (and any juice left on the plate), beans, and bay leaves to the thickened tomatoes. Stir well and simmer for another 10 minutes.
• Add the chopped parsley before serving.

HOMEMADE SPICY TURKEY SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Prepare the smoker. In a large mixing bowl, add the turkey. In a small mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients together. Mix well. Toss the turkey with the seasoning blend and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Grind the meat twice in a meat grinder fitted with a 1/2-inch die. A food processor could also be used to grind the meat. Stuff half of the mixture into 1 1/2-inch casings, forming 6-inch links. Form the remaining into 3 (1/2 pound) patties. You can either use the sausage fresh or smoke the sausage. For the smoked sausage: Place the sausage in the smoker and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.

TURKEY SAUSAGE & PESTO SOUP

Steps:

• Squeeze the meat out of the sausage skins and break into small pieces. Discard the skins. Heat the oil in a wide saucepan over a medium-low heat. Once hot, add the sausagemeat and cook, squashing with a spatula, until browned and slightly crispy, about 6-7 mins. Remove from the pan, transfer to a bowl and cover.
• Add the onion to the pan, with an extra splash of oil if the pan is looking dry, and cook for 4-5 mins until softened. Tip in the garlic and cook for 1 min. Pour in the stock, scraping to loosen any stuck-on bits at the bottom. Add the sausage back in along with the beans and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for another 10 mins, stir in the kale in two batches and cook for a further 2-3 mins until slightly wilted. Stir in the lemon juice and season lightly with salt and a good amount of black pepper.
• Remove the soup from the heat, divide between bowls and top with a spoonful of the pesto. Drizzle over some oil and serve with crusty bread, if you like.
