Ingredients
Scale
- 14 ounces turkey sausage, cut into ½ inch thick slices
- 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and diced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large red onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely minced
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika, or smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- ⅓ cup barbecue sauce
- Fresh herbs, optional for garnishing
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Preheat your outdoor grill to medium or medium-high heat, lightly oiling the grill grates if needed. Alternatively, preheat an indoor grill pan over high heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage, peppers, onions, 1 tablespoon parsley, and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
- Season the mixture with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, tossing to combine.
- Assemble the skewers by alternating sausage and vegetables, making about 8 skewers total.
- Grill the skewers on the grates for 2 minutes, then rotate and baste with barbecue sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Repeat rotating, basting, and cooking for a total grilling time of about 8 minutes. For grill pans, it may take 10-12 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh herbs as desired before serving.
Notes
- Use any previously cooked sausage you like, such as beef, pork, or kielbasa.
- Carefully monitor cooking times, as outdoor grills can run hot.
- Adjust cooking times depending on whether you are using an outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan.
