Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced into bite-sized rounds
  • 8 slices smoked turkey bacon, cut into small strips
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (vegetal)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Slice the kielbasa into bite-sized rounds and cut the smoked turkey bacon into small strips that will wrap around the kielbasa pieces perfectly. Shred the mozzarella cheese (vegetal) if needed.
  2. Wrap and assemble: Take each kielbasa slice and wrap it snugly with a strip of smoked turkey bacon. Secure with a toothpick if needed to hold the bacon in place.
  3. Cook the bites: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wrapped kielbasa bites seam side down and cook until the smoked turkey bacon is crispy and golden, turning carefully to cook evenly.
  4. Add the cheese: Once the smoked turkey bacon is beautifully crisp, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese (vegetal) on top of each bite. Cover the pan briefly to allow the cheese to melt perfectly over the warm kielbasa and turkey bacon.
  5. Season and garnish: Sprinkle garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper for a subtle punch. Finish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of vibrant color and fresh flavor.

Notes

  • Choose quality kielbasa for better flavor and juiciness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Use medium heat to keep the smoked turkey bacon crispy without burning and to allow cheese to melt nicely.
  • Secure wraps firmly with toothpicks to prevent unraveling during cooking.
  • Serve warm for the best taste with oozy cheese and crisp smoked turkey bacon.
