Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Skewers
- 13 ounces smoked turkey sausage
- 3 bell peppers, chopped into pieces
- 1 red onion, chopped into pieces
- kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Sauce
- ¼ cup your favorite BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot honey
For Serving
- chopped fresh cilantro, for serving
- rice, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat, preparing it for cooking the skewers evenly.
- Prepare Sausage: Cut the smoked turkey sausage into 1-inch pieces to match the size of the chopped peppers and onions for uniform grilling.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread 4 to 5 pieces of sausage onto each skewer, alternating with pieces of chopped bell peppers and red onion until the skewer is full.
- Make Sauce: Stir together the BBQ sauce and hot honey until well combined to create a sweet and spicy glaze.
- Brush Skewers: Brush the prepared BBQ and hot honey mixture generously all over the assembled skewers.
- Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Finish and Serve: Optionally brush additional sauce over the skewers once cooked. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top and serve the skewers over cooked rice.
Notes
- To prevent sticking, lightly oil the grill grates before placing the skewers.
- You can substitute smoked turkey sausage with smoked chicken or pork sausage based on preference.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey depending on your desired heat level.
- If wooden skewers are used, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to avoid burning.
- Serve with a side salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
