- 12 ounces light beer
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon light olive oil
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Slice the onion into thin rings and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add light olive oil and sauté the onions until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Place the turkey bratwurst sausages into the skillet and brown them lightly on all sides, approximately 5 minutes.
Pour in the light beer and low-sodium chicken broth, then add whole grain mustard and fresh thyme.
Season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the skillet, and cook for about 20 minutes, turning the brats occasionally until they're cooked through.
