Turkey bratwurst grill pouch is a succulent recipe for homemade turkey bratwurst, bursting with veggies and flavor!
Perfect for those summer BBQ get togethers.
A Facebook Fan requested a recipe that uses Turkey Bratwurst, and so we went in search of one.
I just so happened to have some turkey bratwurst on hand, so I chose this particular recipe because I had all the other needed ingredients, but there are so many fun options, pastas, plain (on a bun), served with potatoes, couscous, quinoa, and more.
What is your favorite way to eat turkey bratwursts?
If you love turkey meat as much as I do try these other turkey recipes like Creamy Green Chili Turkey and Egg Enchiladas, Turkey Taco Avocados or Cheesy Turkey Zucchini Casserole.
Brats are a great food, they make me think of ballparks, summers, and sunshine. That might be a big part of their appeal.
I was first introduced to them by my husband’s family, and have since found I have a bit of a love affair with them.
They are just so darn tasty. There is so much flavor packed into them.
I am also a big pickle/relish lover, so any excuse to eat relish.
But if you haven’t tried brats, consider it. Make them a bit healthier by adding in lots of veggies, like this grill packet!
It is easy to make, only takes a few minutes, and is a healthy option for feeding your family!

- Closing the lid while grilling will help minimize flare ups which will cook them evenly on the grill.
