Grilled Turkey Sausage With Cucumber Relish Food

GRILLED TURKEY SAUSAGE KABOBS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place potatoes into a microwave-safe bowl with water, cover, and cook on high power until tender, about 8 minutes.
• Cut each smoked sausage rope into 5 pieces. Chop each onion and bell pepper into 10 chunks. Separate the onion chunks in half.
• Thread onion, potato, sausage, 3 bell peppers, sausage, potato, and onion onto a metal skewer, in that order. Repeat with remaining skewers. Add remaining potatoes to each skewer.
• Place kabobs on a plate and drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook kabobs on the preheated grill, with the lid open, for 3 minutes. Turn heat to low and close the lid for 3 minutes more. Flip kabobs and cook, with the lid closed, for 6 minutes more. Remove to a serving platter.

GRILLED ITALIAN TURKEY SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place sausages on the preheated grill. Grill until browned and cooked through, turning occasionally, 10 to 16 minutes. Your cooking time will depend on your grill and how close the sausages are to the heat. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (73 degrees C) for well done.
• Meanwhile, heat sun-dried tomato oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add red onion, bell pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes. Saute, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the veggies, then sprinkle with basil, oregano, salt, and pepper; stir until well combined.
• Place turkey sausages in the rolls and evenly distribute the vegetable mixture over the top.

CITRUS CUCUMBER RELISH

Steps:

• Cut cucumbers lengthwise into thin slices, then into fine julienne. Halve the onion lengthwise, then slice into fine julienne. Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and julienne. Place all of the ingredients in a bowl, combine well and let stand, covered, 30 minutes or longer. The juice will be salty and spicy, like fresh pickle juice, when ready. Store in the refrigerator up to 48 hours.
