Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links low-fat turkey sausages
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Spray a large non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the turkey sausages to the skillet and cook for around 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
While the sausages are cooking, finely chop the onion and garlic.
Once the sausages are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute.
Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and honey to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Mix in curry powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces and add them to the curry sauce, stirring to ensure they are well coated.
Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat the sausages through.
Serve the Currywurst hot, traditionally over a bed of baked fries, and enjoy a low-fat twist on a classic dish.
