📌 Simmered Turkey Sausages with Potatoes

Posted 3 April 2026 by: Admin #Recipes

We all have a slightly wrong idea of this dish. It looks like something from the back of the fridge, a recipe you pull out when you’re out of ideas and your spirits are low. In reality, it’s one of the most honestly satisfying dishes in family cooking—the kind that disappears down to the last drop of broth, and for which someone gets up from the table to scrape the bottom of the pot.

Ingredients :

  • Smoked turkey sausages — The base of everything. Look for smoked turkey sausages or poultry franks—not the tiny cocktail ones, but those with a proper size. The crucial part is that they are already smoked: it gives the broth a depth you won’t get otherwise. Beef merguez works very well too if you want a bit more spicy character.
  • Waxy potatoes — Charlotte or Amandine. This is crucial. Floury varieties (bintje, agria) will disintegrate in the broth and leave you with a flaky texture. Waxy potatoes hold up during cooking, absorb the aromas, and stay in clean pieces. Small ones preferably—you just cut them in half.
  • Chicken or vegetable broth — A good carton broth is better than a hastily diluted cube—you can taste the difference in the final result. If you have homemade, perfect. But honestly, this dish works very well store-bought. What to avoid: a broth that is too salty, which will make the seasoning unmanageable.
  • Fresh dill — The ingredient that distinguishes this dish from a simple sausage soup. Dill brings a slightly aniseed and fresh note that balances the richness of the smoked sausages. Dried doesn’t work as well. If you really can’t find any, flat-leaf parsley will do.
