Description
Oven-baked smokies wrapped in turkey bacon and coated with brown sugar. This appetizer offers a sweet and savory flavor profile using only three ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef cocktail sausages (about 14 to 16 pieces)
- 8 slices turkey bacon cut crosswise in half
- 0.75 cup packed light brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Cut each turkey bacon slice in half crosswise.
- Wrap one piece of turkey bacon tightly around each sausage.
- Roll each wrapped sausage in brown sugar until fully coated.
- Arrange the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Turn each piece carefully.
- Return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes more until the bacon cooks and the sugar bubbles.
- Let the smokies rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the glaze to thicken slightly.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- This recipe uses turkey bacon, making it a pork-free alternative to the classic version.
- Ensure the sausages are fully coated in brown sugar for the best caramelization.
