GRILLED TURKEY SAUSAGE KABOBS



Grilled Turkey Sausage Kabobs image

We love SOPP: sausage, onions, potatoes, and peppers all fried up in one pan. It's delicious. This a a summertime take on this one-dish staple. Instead of pan-frying it, you skewer it and grill. Drizzle with more olive oil, salt, and pepper after grilling if desired.
