INSTRUCTIONS
Grilled Turkey Sausages:
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the turkey sausages with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the sausages on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have grill marks.
Remove the sausages from the grill and set them aside.
Cabbage Slaw:
In a large bowl, combine the finely shredded green cabbage, shredded purple cabbage (if using), julienned or grated carrot, chopped cilantro or parsley, and chopped green onions.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
Toss the slaw thoroughly to coat the vegetables with the dressing.
Serve:
Serve the Grilled Turkey Sausages alongside the Cabbage Slaw for a balanced and satisfying meal.
Optionally, serve with whole grain buns or bread for a complete sandwich.
TIPS
Choose turkey sausages with minimal added preservatives and ingredients.
Customize the slaw by adding sliced radishes, chopped nuts, or dried fruits.
