Can I use regular pork kielbasa instead of turkey?

Absolutely! Traditional pork kielbasa works beautifully in this recipe. It will add more fat and a slightly richer flavor. If using pork kielbasa, you might need less olive oil spray as it releases more fat when cooking.

How can I make this recipe lower in sodium?

Kielbasa naturally contains quite a bit of sodium. To reduce it, look for low-sodium varieties, use sweet potatoes instead of hash browns, and increase the amount of fresh vegetables. You can also skip adding any additional salt to the vegetables.

Can I use fresh potatoes instead of frozen hash browns?

Yes! Shred fresh potatoes, then rinse them well and pat them completely dry before cooking. They'll take a few minutes longer to cook than frozen hash browns. Alternatively, diced potatoes work well too – just parboil them for 5 minutes first for faster cooking.

Is this recipe good for meal prep?

Definitely! Make a double batch and portion it into containers for quick lunches or dinners throughout the week. The flavors actually improve after a day in the refrigerator, making it perfect for planning ahead.

Instructions

Preheat Pan. Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat until hot.
Prepare Kielbasa. Cut the turkey kielbasa in half lengthwise, then slice it into half-moon shapes for even browning.
Dice Vegetables. Dice both the bell peppers and onions into bite-sized pieces.
Brown Kielbasa. Spray the pan lightly with olive oil spray, add the kielbasa, and cook for about 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, just until the kielbasa is browned and flavorful (it is already fully cooked).
Cook Peppers and Onions. Remove the kielbasa from the pan. Add a bit more olive oil spray, then add the diced peppers and onions. Cook for about 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized. Season with a pinch of kosher salt. Remove vegetables from the pan.
Cook Hash Browns. Spray the pan again with olive oil spray. Add the hash browns and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Season with kosher salt.
Combine. Return the cooked kielbasa, peppers, and onions to the skillet with hash browns. Toss everything together to combine and cook for an additional minute to heat through.

Notes

For a spicier version, use spicy kielbasa or add red pepper flakes while cooking.
You can add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms if desired.
