Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 lb smoked kielbasa, sliced into bite-sized pieces
4 oz smoked turkey bacon, finely chopped
4 oz smoked turkey slices, finely chopped
2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
1 tbsp maple syrup (natural)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
1 tbsp natural gelling agent
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Prep Your Ingredients: Slice the smoked kielbasa into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the smoked turkey bacon and smoked turkey slices. In a bowl, mix vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), maple syrup (natural), smoked paprika, and garlic powder (natural) to create a flavorful marinade.
Marinate the Bites: Combine the kielbasa, smoked turkey bacon, and smoked turkey slices with the marinade. Toss well to coat all pieces evenly and let sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the bold flavors.
Bind with Natural Gelling Agent: Lightly mix in the natural gelling agent to the meat mixture to help the bites hold together while maintaining their juicy texture.
Cook to Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly sear each bite, turning regularly. Cook until edges are caramelized and the bites are heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for color and freshness. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces or enjoy as is.

Notes

Use quality smoked kielbasa for the best flavor base.
Don’t skip the marinade to keep the bites juicy and tender.
Incorporate the natural gelling agent sparingly to maintain texture.
Cook on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even caramelization.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
