To make kielbasa and potatoes in the oven in under 30 minutes:
- Step 1: Use small baby potatoes that have been cut in half. Add whatever spices you would like to these potatoes and make sure to use some oil to help them roast.
- Step 2: Stir the potatoes well. Add them to a sheet pan and roast the potatoes at 450F for about 15 minutes before adding the kielbasa.
- Step 3: Slice the kielbasa into coins
- Step 4: Add any other vegetables to the sheet pan with the potatoes and turkey kielbasa. Roast at 450F for an additional 10 minutes.
- If you are doubling the recipe, be sure to use a large sheet pan. I have this 2/3 size sheet pan and it makes getting meal prep so much faster!
- Step 5: To get additional color on the kielbasa and added veggies, you can broil the dish at the end for 3 minutes, but this isn’t necessary.
How long does turkey kielbasa last?
Turkey kielbasa usually comes with an expiration date on the package. It usually has a month or longer expiration date, so I make sure to stock up on it at the store so I have a simple, healthy option for nights I don’t want to cook!
Once opened, the sausage will last about 3-5 days in the fridge, but it’s never gone more than a day or two in our fridge before disappearing.
It’s important that you take a minute at the store to look at the ingredients in your kielbasa. The turkey kielbasa that we use has simple ingredients (turkey, water, spices, paprika, garlic powder and collagen casing). Be sure to read the ingredient list and make sure there are no added fillers, sugar or junk. I usually pick up 2 or 3 at Whole Foods, which is where I have found it at the best price.
Since you are not peeling your potatoes, opt for organic if possible when you are making this easy turkey kielbasa and potatoes sheet pan meal! I like to use baby potatoes since that reduces the amount of chopping I have to do!
Use a silicone liner or parchment paper to make for an easy clean-up of this dish!
