Greek-Inspired Grilled Turkey Sausage Brats: A Healthy Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 medium turkey bratwurst sausage links (such as Jennie-O®)
• 0.33 cup diced red onion
• 0.33 cup chopped cucumber
• 0.33 cup diced tomatoes, drained
• 12 large Kalamata olives, quartered
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.75 teaspoon dried oregano
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 4 medium brat buns
• 0.33 cup crumbled feta cheese, or more to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
2. Place the turkey sausages directly on the grill rack and grill until they are fully cooked, approximately 10 to 16 minutes. Turn the sausages occasionally to ensure even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
3. In a small bowl, combine the diced red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, and Kalamata olives. Drizzle generously with olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper, then stir gently to combine.
4. Nestle the grilled turkey sausages into their buns. Divide the Greek-style vegetable mixture evenly over each sausage. Sprinkle generously with crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately for the best taste.
