Wow. This Sautéed Brussel Sprouts recipe is ridiculously delicious. Seriously. Go to the grocery store, shop for the ingredients then come back. I’ll miss you when you’re gone, but that’s ok. I’ll see you soon.
How was your shopping experience? Did you find everything ok? Great, now let’s talk about this super yummy brussel sprouts recipe that is sautéed in onions, garlic, and a healthy dose of parmesan cheese. Let’s not forget those crispy bits of smoked turkey we will fry right before sauteing the onions. I’m drooling over here!
This is the kind of side dish to take to any thanksgiving gathering. It contains familiar ingredients like parmesan cheese, and turkey yet the walnuts and thin-sliced almonds give the perfect elegant touch.
Over the past weekend, I hosted a freezer-to-table gathering with close friends. We prepped butternut squash and poblano enchiladas with a creamy cilantro lime cashew sauce. While in the making, we snacked on grapes, dried fruit, goat’s cheese, and alcohol-free cocktails.
Now that we’re all caught up, let’s talk about the ingredients you will need.
Sautéed Brussel Sprouts Recipe Ingredients
| Brussel Sprouts | Thin sliced so that it will be more pleasurable to eat. |
| Smoked Turkey | Feel free to use a smoked deli variety. You can also use leftover turkey or none at all. ( It’s hard for me to find halal turkey, so I used kosher turkey instead.) |
| Onion | A small onion diced onion will help to build a nice flavor. |
| Garlic | Pairs perfectly with onions. |
| Parmesan Cheese | Will add flavor, saltiness, and creaminess. ( I used rennet-free parmesan) |
| Other Essential Ingredients | Salt, pepper, and olive oil. Adding pecans and thin-sliced almonds are an option, but recommended. |
How Do You Get the Bitterness Out of Brussel Sprouts?
Properly cooked brussel sprouts will not have any bitterness. Season the sprouts well. In this case, we are using olive oil, garlic, onion, and smoked turkey. Make sure not to overcook the sprouts or else they can turn out to be too mushy.
