Grilled Hot Honey BBQ Smoked Sausage Skewers
Description
This recipe assembles smoked turkey sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces, alongside chopped bell peppers and red onions threaded on skewers. The barbecue sauce mixed with hot honey creates a glaze brushed generously over the skewers before and during grilling. Cooking on a high heat grill allows the ingredients to caramelize and develop slight char edges, enhancing flavor and texture.
The combination of the savory sausage, crisp-tender vegetables, and the glaze’s sweet and spicy notes produces a layered taste experience. Garnishing with fresh chopped cilantro adds a bright herbal element. Serving the skewers over rice provides a complementary neutral base and rounds out the meal.
Ingredients
- 13 ounces smoked turkey sausage
- 3 bell peppers chopped into pieces
- 1 red onion chopped into pieces
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce your favorite
- 2 tablespoons hot honey
- cilantro for serving, fresh, chopped
- rice for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to high.
- Cut the turkey sausage into pieces - I like to cut them into 1-inch pieces to match the size of the peppers and onions.
- Skewer the sausage, peppers and onions in any way you’d like. I usually do 4 to 5 pieces of sausage per skewer and layer them with peppers and onions. No rhyme or reason, just what fits on the skewer!
- Stir together the BBQ sauce and hot honey. Brush it all over the sausage skewers.
- Place the skewers on the grill. Grill for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the skewers every 2 to 3 minutes or so. When the skewers are finished, you can brush them with more of the honey BBA mixture if you’d like!
- Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top and serve over rice.
