Growing up kielbasa (the full fat kind) was a classic in my
household. We’d eat it grilled, fried, or boiled and typically alongside pierogies
or on a sandwich. Since I don’t
typically eat full-fat meats any longer, I’ve switched out for leaner
alternatives. One of those alternatives is turkey kielbasa. One of the brands I
purchase is Butterball Turkey Polska
Kielbasa.
The only true difference I can tell is that 1) it’s less
greasy, 2) it’s not as tough and 3) I don’t get heartburn for days after eating
it. I definitely enjoy the absence of
heartburn because as much as I enjoy kielbasa I hated the burn a few hours after
eating it. These days, I fry up my
kielbasa in a non-stick skillet to get a nice “crisp” on the outside. I
typically throw onions and peppers into the mix to bulk up my meal, plus it’s a
great way to incorporate vegetables into the dish. I typically cook the kielbasa up in chunks or
I dice it up – it truly depends on my mood or how much I have to stretch it.
On this day I enjoyed my kielbasa with onions and peppers
alongside some sautéed fresh vegetables and some Ore-Ida Simply potato wedges. Great meal even without the bread! A 2 ounce serving is 2 points plus values, or
if you’re counting calories it’s 100 calories per serving.
