Muenster and Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage Dogs w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Muenster and Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage Dogs w/ Baked Fries








Woke up to a another snow. Ended up with 4" or more of new snow, with more on the way. From what I hear maybe another 1" Sunday, 1" to 2" on Monday and then our coldest days of the year coming in for the next 3-4 days. A minus 10 predicted for Wednesday morning, not including the wind chill if any.Oh well thank goodness for the classic TV channels, AMC and TCM. For dinner Mom and Dad wanted Baked Chicken with all the sides, which I prepared for them, and for myself it was a Muenster and Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage Dogs w/ Baked Fries.

I prepared them the Perdue Whole Chicken Breast along with sides of; Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Sliced Carrots, and baked Pillsbury Rustic French Bread. For myself I just wanted something a bit lighter so I prepared a Muenster and Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage Dogs w/ Baked Fries.








I used Jennie -O Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages, is there anything else! I prepared a couple of them, I'll have the other one for lunch tomorrow. To prepare them is very easy, I pan fried them in a medium size skillet that I sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Added the Sausages and cooked covered, turning occasionally, about 17 – 19 minutes. Always make sure you cook them to well-done, 165º F. as measured by a meat thermometer. Their just a delicious Sausage, excellent flavor and moist and juicy inside! I served them on an Aunt Millie's Reduced Calorie Hot Dog Bun topped with French's Spicy Brown Mustard with a slice of Murray's Muenster Cheese wrapped around it! I love Muenster Cheese, especially Murray's. It's the perfect cheese for sandwiches, it melts just perfect and still has texture to it. Then for a side I baked up some Ore Ida Simply Cracked Black Pepper and Sea Salt Country Style Fries. For dessert later a Weight Watchers Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream Cone, while watching a full night of TV with TCM; Bonnie and Clyde, Jaws, and then Alien!

Turkey Sausage and Turkey Pepperoni Pizza

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Sausage and Turkey Pepperoni Pizza








Another frigid day around here again. It was a minus 12 with a wind chill factor and it didn't get much higher than that throughout the day. I think everyone will be glad this run of Winter weather finally ends. Managed to get out and run a couple of errands that was it for the day. For dinner it was Pizza Night, Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage and Turkey Pepperoni Pizza.








I used the Meijer Pizza Thin Crusts again. They're 130 calories and 19 net carbs for a half Pizza. So eating a full one would only be 260 calories and 38 carbs, not too bad. For my toppings I used Jennie – O Lean Sweet Italian Sausages (Which I fried ahead of time), Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Mozzarella, Ragu Original Pizza Sauce, Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms, 1/2 (Small) Can Sliced Black Olives, and 3 Thin Slices of Anchovies (Chopped).





I preheated the oven on 425 degrees. I then brushed a light coating of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and then added my toppings. Baked for about 7 minutes and then turned the broiler on and baked it an additional 1 minute. By using the broiler for a minute or so it crisped the crust a little and browned the cheese a bit, perfect! Great call on dinner tonight as it the spot, made 2 of them one for my dinner and one for Mom and Dad to snack on later tonight. For dessert later a Del Monte Mango Chunk Cup.
