Ingredients

• 4 pieces Turkey sausage links
• 2 cups Sauerkraut
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your ingredients: slice the turkey sausage links into 1/2-inch rounds, thinly slice the yellow onion and green bell pepper, mince the garlic, and chop the parsley.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the turkey sausage slices and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned on all sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the sliced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 4–5 minutes until they soften and start to caramelize.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and caraway seeds, cooking for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and the spices are well mixed with the vegetables.

Step 5

Add the sauerkraut to the skillet and stir well to combine. Cook for 2–3 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle with salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then return the turkey sausage to the skillet.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are fully heated and the flavors are fully incorporated.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot, either on its own or with a side of crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
