The variety of turkey sausage recipes shown below proves that this hearty meat can be just as flavorful as beef and pork.
There’s no denying that turkey has a milder flavor than other kinds of sausages, but it’s not a big deal if you prefer your meat spicy or sweet.
And because it’s so mild and lean, it’s ideal for people who are trying to cut down on meat.
It’s also an excellent option for vegetarians looking for a tasty meat alternative.
So whether you’re looking for something light, healthy, or filling, this list has you covered.
1. Turkey Sausage And Noodles
Want a healthier alternative to your favorite comfort meals?
Turkey sausage and noodles is the answer!
This recipe combines savory turkey sausage with tender, chewy angel hair pasta.
The combination of two ingredients creates a new flavor sensation that’s sure to delight.
Serve this dish on a bed of fluffy angel hair pasta for an easy dinner that will keep your family feeling full all night.
2. Sausage, Pepper and Rice Skillet
This recipe is a little different from the ones above.
It’s not just sausage, pepper, and rice.
There’s also onions and bell peppers for added color and flavor.
(And don’t worry, these are not dried.)
The base of this dish is an easy-to-make skillet full of diced tomatoes, red bell pepper, white onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Add your cooked sausage in at serving time to keep those veggies nice and crunchy!
3. Pasta With Turkey Sausage And Peas
This dish is a delightful mix of flavors – it’s full of carrots, peas, and turkey sausage.
It’s creamy and rich with the simple addition of parmesan cheese.
It’s a perfect dinner for family dinners or potlucks!
Serve this dish with fresh spinach and roasted potato wedges for even more flavor.
4. Baked Ziti
This baked ziti is a wonderful way to use up leftover pasta.
It’s made with ziti and parmesan, so it can be a bit more filling than simply cutting it into smaller pieces.
Since this recipe calls for marinara sauce, you’ll want to make that first!
Once the noodles are ready, mix the marinara and fresh herbs to taste.
I like to add some garlic as well.

Whip up this easy recipe for sausage and peppers.
Made with ground pork, bell peppers, onions, and Italian seasonings, it’s what you need to whip up on a rainy night.
This dish has all the warmth and savoriness that you can expect from a hearty meal.
It’s super easy to make, too! Just add everything together in a skillet and let it cook!
6. Creamy Kale And Turkey Sausage Pasta With Sun Dried Tomatoes
This recipe is a delicious way to use up some of your leftover turkey, and the sun-dried tomatoes are the perfect finish.
You’ll need a slow cooker for this one, so you can make sure it’s ready when you get home.
Serves four.
I think it would be nice with some roasted Brussels sprouts on top.
7. Turkey Sausage And Cauliflower Stir-Fry
More and more, I’m loving cauliflower rice.
It’s an excellent replacement for pasta and it can be easily reheated.
This recipe uses cauliflower rice, beef sausages, mushrooms, and garlic to make one heckuva flavorful stir-fry!
Easy to prepare and easy to eat, it’s a great choice if you need a quick dinner that won’t take too long.
8. Turkey Sausage And Vegetables
I just can’t get enough of the Middle Eastern flavors that combine meat, veggies, and spices.
This dish is basically a heaping of all that goodness.
It’s flavored with red pepper flakes, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
It’s tender and fragrant while still having some crunch.
The sausages are cooked in a pan coated with tomato paste for maximum flavor.
They’ll be juicy and crispy on the outside.
Serve this turkey sausage and vegetables over rice or quinoa for a hearty meal!

Maple turkey sausage might not sound like a complete game changer, but it is.

It tastes amazing.
The maple syrup and herbs are the secret to its flavor, so keep that in mind when you make this recipe.
Plus, it looks fantastic and will impress your guests when you serve it.
14. Giada’s Orecchiette With Turkey Sausage And Broccoli Rabe

The turkey sausage is the perfect addition to a hearty stew of beans, rice, chicken or shrimp.
To make this dish even better, you can add as many veggies as you want.
I like green beans with onions and peppers on top.
If you’re looking for more protein, try adding chopped chicken or shrimp.
18. Turkey Sausage & Broccolini Orzo
This turkey sausage and orzo combo is a wonderful way to add some more protein to your diet.
The savory broth is coated with a rich tomato base.
Add the spices, olive oil, garlic, and seasoning, and you’ve got an addictive dish that will leave you wanting more.

This hearty gnocchi is creamy and buttery with sausage and cheese.
It’s the perfect dish for dinner parties or special occasions.

If you want to make them extra cheesy, add some Gruyère cheese into the mix.
20. Kielbasa Pasta Bake
This recipe is a little different to other pasta recipes because it’s not just heavy on the pasta.
Instead, you use beef and beef broth to make it hearty and rich.
It tastes just like traditional pasta dishes with plenty of robust flavors.
Plus, the inclusion of green olives makes this dish extra special and very tasty.
21. Turkey Sausage And Quinoa Pizza Bowl
I’ve never made a quinoa pizza before.
It’s not that I haven’t tried it.
It just doesn’t sound like something I would want to make on my own.
However, this recipe definitely changed my mind.
Instead of making a plain quinoa pizza, you’ll have the same flavors and textures as you would in a regular one.
But instead of tomato sauce and mozzarella, you’ll use sausage, mushrooms, spinach, and olives.
It has all the pizzazz of a traditional pizza without actually being one!

The broth is delectable and features spicy sausage, robust beans, and bright herbs.
I love this soup because it has such a unique taste that you can enjoy any time of day or night.
24. Southwestern Turkey Sausage Egg Cups
The key to good egg cups is to use a good quality pasteurized egg.
If you’ve ever tried the store-bought kind, you know it’s not the same.
My husband makes this recipe because he refuses to buy pre-made enchiladas and hates that they have no flavor.
He also likes using bulk sausage, which cuts down on work in preparation.
And I can never not be tempted by some of those Texas hot links!
While this recipe calls for uncooked turkey sausage links, I like to always keep my freezer stocked with links and make it overnight.
That way, there are always leftovers ready when we are.
25. Pasta Fagioli Soup
If you don’t have time to make a big batch of pasta, then this one’s for you.
It’s the perfect easy-to-make soup that only takes 15 minutes to cook.

Just be sure to thaw them before adding them!
