Ingredients
  

Main
  • 24 ounces lean turkey kielbasa cut into 1-inch rounds
  • 12 ounces baby gold potatoes halved
  • 8 ounces baby carrots left whole
  • 10 ounces broccoli florets large pieces
  • 1 small yellow onion 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 2 tablespoons honey for glaze
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce for glaze
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard for glaze
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar for glaze
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika for seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth divided
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch for slurry
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, optional

Equipment

  • 12-Inch Lidded Skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Chef'S Knife
  • 2 Small Bowls
  • whisk
  • tongs

Method
 

  1. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, Dijon mustard, vinegar, paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl. In the second bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons chicken broth.
  2. Pat the kielbasa rounds dry. Heat a large lidded skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute, then add 2 teaspoons olive oil.
  3. Arrange the kielbasa cut-side down. Brown for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once, then transfer to a plate.
  4. Add the remaining oil, potatoes, carrots, and onion. Cook for 2 minutes, keeping most potatoes cut-side down.
  5. Pour in the remaining broth. Cover and cook for 7 minutes, until the potatoes are nearly tender.
  6. Add the broccoli and cover for 2 minutes. Uncover and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and most broth has evaporated.
  7. Return the kielbasa to the skillet and pour in the honey mixture. Toss and simmer for 1 minute.
  8. Stir the cornstarch slurry again, then add it to the skillet. Toss for 30 to 60 seconds, until the glaze is glossy and coats the ingredients. Remove from heat and add parsley if using.

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months, noting that the potatoes and broccoli soften after freezing. Reheat gently with a spoonful of water or broth. Pork or beef kielbasa can replace turkey kielbasa, but may release more fat.
