Ingredients

• 16 oz Low-fat turkey Little Smokies
• 1 cup Low-sugar ketchup
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 1.5 tsp Chili garlic sauce
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 0.25 tsp Optional: Red pepper flakes (for extra heat)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the low-sugar ketchup, honey, low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, chili garlic sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 2

Stir the mixture well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and develops a rich, flavorful aroma.

Step 4

Add the low-fat turkey Little Smokies to the saucepan and gently mix them into the sauce until they are fully coated.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the Little Smokies simmer in the sauce for 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure they heat evenly and the sauce doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Once the Little Smokies are heated through and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove them from the heat.

Step 7

Serve immediately as an appetizer with toothpicks or as part of a party spread. Enjoy!
