It’s packed with Polish flavors and comes together in under 30 minutes. The dish features kielbasa, pierogi and tender vegetables, all cooked together in a skillet for a hearty and satisfying meal.
Ingredients for Pierogies and Sausage
- Frozen pierogi: Starting with a bag of premade potato and onion pierogi from the freezer aisle helps this skillet meal come together quickly.
- Butter and canola oil: A combination of butter with a little oil sizzles the sausage and helps the pierogi to brown. Using the two types of fat together keeps the flavor of butter, and adding the oil helps raise the smoke point so the milk solids in the butter don’t burn as readily.
- Smoked turkey sausage: Sliced, smoked turkey sausage adds lots of smoky flavor to this skillet meal. Sauteeing it gives it crispy edges. You can substitute pork kielbasa or any other type of smoked fresh sausage.
- Coleslaw mix: Adding a package of coleslaw mix is an easy way to get some vegetables into this skillet meal without needing to do any prep work. The thin ribbons of carrot and cabbage soften quickly in the hot pan.
- Onion: Sauteed onion is a must with pierogi, and this skillet is no exception. It adds sweetness and lots of savory flavor.
- Spices: Though the seasonings in this skillet meal are milk, a bay leaf and a little garlic powder, celery salt and pepper add subtle background notes of flavor to sausage and pierogi.
