Ingredients
1/2 pineapple, cut into 18 pieces about 1 1/2 inches each
1 red or orange bell pepper, cut into 18 pieces about 1 1/2 inches each
1 medium red onion, cut into 18 pieces
1 lb large turkey sausages or kielbasa, cut into 18 rings about 1 1/2 inches thick
1/4 cup BBQ sauce (sticky and sweet recommended)
1/4 cup real maple syrup
2 teaspoons hot sauce
Instructions
1-First: in a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup real maple syrup, and 2 teaspoons hot sauce to create the glaze and set it aside. This step infuses the skewers with that sweet and spicy flavor that’s so addictive.
2-Next: thread the sausage, pineapple, bell pepper, and onion pieces alternately onto skewers for even cooking and a visually appealing result.
3-Once your skewers are ready, brush them with the glaze before placing them on the grill.
4-Grill the first side for 3 minutes, then turn and brush with more glaze, continuing for about 2 minutes per side until done, for a total of 10 to 12 minutes. This method ensures the vegetables reach your preferred tenderness while the sausage cooks through perfectly.
5-End by letting the skewers rest a bit before serving to lock in the flavors.
