These Saucy Cocktail Kielbasa Medallions are a fantastic appetizer to add to your entertaining menu or party food buffet. The recipe is quick and easy and tastes great. Serve alongside small pizza bites and chips for a casual game day party, or place them with other hors d’oeuvres for a cocktail party.
I have a quick and tasty appetizer recipe for you today, and it’s versatile enough for casual gatherings as well as cocktail parties and even kid’s/teenager’s parties. These saucy cocktail kielbasa medallions have only three ingredients and are perfectly balanced between savory & slightly sweet.
Today I’ve included them in this casual party buffet which you could feel comfortable serving the guys on Sunday while watching football, to the gals while watching awards & red carpet shows, OR to the kids on a Friday or Saturday movie night, sleep-over, or regular ole dinner. See what I mean about the versatility!
These sausage bites are a delicious addition to any party food buffet!
You can round out this menu with crudites in veggie dip bread cups and a chocolate & cheese dessert board for a complete and well-rounded “meal.” Serve ice cold beverages in an ice bucket – beer for the adults and soft drinks for the kids.
Saucy Cocktail Kielbasa Medallions
- 2 (14 oz) packages turkey kielbasa, cut into 1/4-inch medallions + 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 jar (18 ounces) red plum jam
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
Add olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium. Add sausage medallions when pan and oil are hot and cook on each side to achieve a caramelized look. Remove to a paper towel to pat dry any residual oil.
Meanwhile, in a medium sauce pan heat jam and mustard over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until mixture is combined and smooth.
Add kielbasa medallions and continue to heat through, about 10-15 minutes.
Transfer to a chafing dish or slow cooker to keep warm while entertaining.
We typically serve cocktail bourbon meatballs for parties but now and then I like to change it up and these cocktail sausage medallions are what I turn to. Everyone loves them!
