Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon oil (olive or vegetable)
- 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound smoked turkey sausage, sliced into rounds
- 500g (1 lb) frozen potato and cheese pierogies
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Optional Add-ins: spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
Instructions
- Sauté Onions and Sausage: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook 3–4 minutes. Add turkey sausage and cook another 4–5 minutes until browned.
- Add Pierogies: Place frozen pierogies in the pan in a single layer. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden.
- Add Broth and Cream: Stir in chicken broth and heavy cream. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer: Reduce heat to low and simmer 5–7 minutes until sauce thickens and coats pierogies.
- Finish: Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use frozen pierogies straight from the bag — no need to boil first.
- Don’t skip browning sausage and pierogies for maximum flavor.
- Always stir sour cream in off the heat to prevent curdling.
- Add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for more nutrition.
- Reheat gently with a splash of broth or cream to keep it creamy.
