It’s October, so, for some reason all the bratwurst, cabbage, noodles, etc dishes are coming out of the woodwork. All the beer recipes are, too. I really should try to follow the trends, but I just don’t want to seem like I’m jumping on a band wagon. I’d like to be ahead of the trends. I know it doesn’t look like it with this recipe, but it’s what I wanted when I wanted. Not because it’s October.
When I couldn’t find mty usual sausage I was looking for a replacement. Enter the Johnsonville Turkey Sausage with Cheddar. I was skeptical. Remember, we’re doing this low fat thing, right? Well, it’s not easy to try to find GOOD sausages that are lower in fat. These were just that. I mean, this isn’t even a sponsored post. I was just surprised at how tasty these really are and wanted to let y’all know about it.
I bought the cabbage for something else, and COMPLETELY forgot to have it. So, I had it in the fridge for this meal. I didn’t make it sweet and sour, like most purple cabbage is. I just wanted to saute then braise it in a nice, tasty mustard chicken broth. Excellent choice, if I don’t say so myself.
I had intended to do beer braised, but couldn’t remember which container the beer was in the freezer. *snort* I should have labeled it. I took out the coconut milk instead…whoops! That would have made a completely different dish entirely!!
