Turkey Kielbasa Choucroute
Draining and rinsing sauerkraut gives it a cleaner taste and reduces the sodium content. Broiling browns the sausage and intensifies the spices. Nestling it in the sauerkraut mixture helps the flavors permeate the entire dish.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds refrigerated sauerkraut, drained
- Cooking spray
- 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
- 3 cups sliced peeled Golden Delicious apple
- 1 cup riesling or other dry white wine
- 1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 (14-ounce) packages turkey kielbasa, cut into 18 pieces
Preparation
- Soak sauerkraut in cold water 10 minutes. Drain in a colander; press to remove excess moisture.
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion to pan; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in sauerkraut, apple, and next 6 ingredients (through bay leaf); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally or until apple is just tender.
- Preheat broiler.
- Place kielbasa on a baking sheet; cut several 1/4-inch-deep slits in each piece. Broil 8 minutes or until lightly browned, turning occasionally. Nestle kielbasa pieces into sauerkraut mixture; cover and simmer 15 minutes. Uncover; cook 5 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Discard bay leaf.
