Turkey Brats With Sweet Slaw Recipes

HONEY BRATS WITH SWEET-AND-SPICY SLAW

Steps:

• Pierce each brat with a fork, and place in a large saucepan. Top with onion and coleslaw mix; sprinkle with caraway seeds. Pour apple cider over cabbage mixture; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook 20 minutes or until cabbage is tender. Remove brats, and set aside.
• Drain cabbage mixture well, reserving 2 tablespoons cooking liquid. Discard remaining cooking liquid. Combine cabbage mixture, reserved cooking liquid, and Thousand Island dressing in a large bowl; toss to coat. Cover and chill.
• Combine mustard and honey in a small bowl; set aside. Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add brats to pan; cook about 6 minutes or until golden brown on all sides, turning often and basting with honey mixture. For grown up servings, place 1 brat in a bun with 1/3 cup slaw. For plain servings, server brats in bun without the slaw.

GREEK-INSPIRED GRILLED TURKEY SAUSAGE BRATS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place sausages on the rack, and grill until sausages are cooked through, 10 to 16 minutes, turning occasionally. Your cooking time will depend on your grill and how close the sausages are to the heat. Check periodically with a meat thermometer until you reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), which is well done.
• Combine red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, and Kalamata olives in a small bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and stir in the oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Place the turkey sausages in the buns. Evenly distribute the Greek-style veggie mixture over the sausages, sprinkle with some feta cheese, and serve.

BAKED ZITI WITH SWEET TURKEY SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, cook sausage in a hot skillet over medium heat until golden brown on all sides. Add tomatoes, thyme and rosemary and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and garlic powder and mix well. Spoon 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 4-quart casserole dish. Top with half of the cooked ziti. Top with half of the cheese mixture. Top with 1 cup of the tomato sauce. Repeat layers (remaining ziti and remaining cheese mixture). Top with remaining tomato sauce. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese over top. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 more minutes, until cheese is golden and bubbly.

• Combine coleslaw mix, red bell pepper, green onions, and garlic in the wok; cook and stir over medium heat until slaw is slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sauce; mix to combine, about 1 minute. Return turkey to the wok and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
