Ingredients

  • 2 packages (2 pounds) turkey sausages
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 small head red cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (12-ounce) can beer
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 Fuji apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices

Method

  • Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Cook the sausage on the outdoor grill or grill pan for about 12 minutes, turning a quarter turn every 3 minutes.
  • While the sausage is cooking, heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the cabbage, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring often, until the cabbage has wilted slightly, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the beer, vinegar, mustard and the brown sugar and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the apples, cover partially with a lid, to allow some steam to escape.
  • Cook the cabbage and apples over medium-low heat until they are tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Reserve 2 sausages and 1 cup of the apple sauerkraut for online Round 2 Recipe.
  • Transfer the sausages and sauerkraut to a serving platter and serve.
