# How to Prepare:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
02 -
Incorporate minced garlic and sliced turkey sausage. Continue cooking until the sausage is browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
03 -
While sausage cooks, boil frozen pierogi according to package instructions, typically 3 to 5 minutes until floating. Drain well and set aside.
04 -
Once sausage is cooked, pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Add smoked paprika, season with salt and black pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
05 -
Gently fold in the cooked pierogi, ensuring each dumpling is coated. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and cover the skillet. Cook on low for 3 to 5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling.
06 -
Remove from heat and garnish generously with chopped fresh chives before serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Serve straight from the skillet for rustic presentation or plate individual servings topped with extra chives and a sprinkle of cheese. For additional creaminess, drizzle with a little extra cream before serving.
