Turkey Sausage With Fennel Sauerkraut Food

MELTING CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Slice cabbage in half through the root. Cut each half into 4 wedges, keeping the root intact. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron or other heavy ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add 4 cabbage wedges and cook until browned in spots on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle both sides with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Repeat with 1 tablespoon oil, the remaining cabbage and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, onion, garlic, caraway seeds and cumin seeds to the pan; cook, stirring, until starting to soften and brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until starting to darken, about 2 minutes. Add broth, dry mustard and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Return the cabbage to the pan, overlapping the wedges if necessary. Bake, turning once, until the cabbage is very soft and the sauce has reduced and thickened, 40 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with mustard, if desired.

TURKEY SAUSAGE WITH FENNEL SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning, until browned all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water, cover and cook until the sausages are just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool, then slice into 2-inch pieces.
• Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium; add the butter and caraway seeds and cook, stirring, until the butter is melted. Add the fennel and apple and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the sauerkraut and sausage slices and cook, stirring, until the sauerkraut is warmed through, about 3 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Top with fennel fronds.

GRILLED SMOKED SAUSAGE WITH APPLE FENNEL "SAUERKRAUT"

Steps:

• Clean and cut the fennel in long strips (julienne) and trim tops, reserving for later use.
• Heat oil in heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, add onion and kosher salt. Cook until onion begins to brown, add strips of fennel, stir, and let cook covered for about 5 minutes or until fennel begins to wilt, reduce heat to medium-low.
• Meanwhile, mix grated apple with lemon juice and add to pan, cover and cook, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes. Add butter, mixing well. Add caraway seeds, reserved fennel tops and hard cider or apple juice. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, uncovered. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let sit to allow the flavors to mingle. (The sauerkraut can be made up to 2 days in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.)
• Build charcoal fire or preheat gas grill. Just before serving, warm sauerkraut and grill sausages. To grill sausages, place on the cooking grate over direct medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally to mark all sides of the sausage. Meanwhile, split the buns and brush a little butter on the inside. Toast until lightly browned. When ready to serve, place 1 sausage and a generous amount of the sauerkraut on the bun and serve with mustard on the side. Enjoy immediately.

TURKEY SAUSAGE WITH FENNEL SAUERKRAUT & POTATOES RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, turning often, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

Stir in chopped fennel fronds and serve. TIPS & NOTES Tips for Two: Refrigerate leftover cabbage for up to 1 week. Add to salads or soup; Vinegary Coleslaw or Warm Apple-Cabbage Slaw.
