These BBQ Sausage Bites are a delicious and easy appetizer featuring smoky turkey sausage coated in a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce mixture. Perfect for parties or family dinners, they bake until bubbly and flavorful, offering a crowd-pleasing bite with minimal prep.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (14 oz each) smoked turkey sausage
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Slice Sausage: Slice the smoked turkey sausage into 1-inch coin shapes, ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In the prepared baking dish, add the sliced sausage, barbecue sauce, light brown sugar, and dijon mustard. Stir gently to coat all sausage pieces evenly with the sauce mixture.
  4. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly, thickened, and darker in color. Stir the mixture a couple of times during baking to ensure sausage pieces remain well coated and the sauce cooks evenly.
  5. Serve: Serve the BBQ Sausage Bites warm with toothpicks as an appetizer, as a side dish, or alongside macaroni and cheese for a kid-friendly dinner. For keeping warm at parties or games, place the sausages in a slow cooker set to WARM after baking for 2 to 3 hours to maintain temperature and texture with a nice charred exterior.

Notes

  • Stir the sausage mixture during baking to ensure even coating and prevent sticking.
  • For party serving, keep warm in a slow cooker to maintain flavor and temperature.
  • Can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or part of a main meal.
  • Using smoked turkey sausage adds smoky flavor with less fat compared to pork sausage.
