Wellshire Turkey Kielbasa
I have become a huge fan of this Wellshire products; especially their turkey kielbasa. Up until very recently I was a bit of a purist in regards to things I would allow to be referred to as sausages, burgers, etc. in my presence. Well, I’m a convert. You can put whatever meat in a burger/sausage/etc and call it whatever you want if you’re making stuff that tastes this good.
Plus, they are using quality bird, so if you’re an ethical omnivore like myself, you can’t go wrong with this stuff.
I’ve only been able to find this stuff available at Whole Foods, and even then their stock can be a bit spotty at times. So, when I find it, I buy a lot of it and dump it in the freezer.
What I like:
- tastes delicious
- easy to prep
- very versatile in terms of how to use it in meals
What I don’t:
- a little pricey
- limited availability
Preparation notes:
Although these kielbabsas are already fully cooked, I always do something to provide a little extra “cooking”. Typically I do one of to things with it. The easiest thing I do is just split it down the middle and drop it in in a hot, dry skillet to heat it up and brown it a bit. Then I may add a little Mrs. Dash, and some hot sauce, then I dig in.
The other way I like it is to slice it into medallions and drop those in the skillet with some sauteed peppers and onions, maybe some dices tomatoes, and a nice mix of creole seasonings. Yum!
I also take those medallions and mix them into scrambled eggs and salsa.
Bottom Line:
If you’re looking for a relatively low-cal, high-quality, ethically raised protein that can be prepare quickly in dozens of different ways, this might this turkey kielbasa might be just what you are looking for.
