Polynesian Kabobs with Turkey Breakfast Sausage and Water Chestnuts-Outdoor or George Foreman Grill

I love finding recipes calling for unusual ingredients...  Breakfast sausage on a shish-ka-bob? If you're looking for something really different, don't hesitate to toss some of these Polynesian Kabobs on the grill! I used my George Foreman and that worked great. Because I was cooking for myself... I added some onion and jalapeno to the skewers:@) It's the addition of freshly grated nutmeg to the basting sauce that really makes these kabobs special folks.

I knew I had a can of water chestnuts, but they were sliced instead of whole... Whole would be best. Jimmy Dean Sausage and pineapple can even be found at Dollar Tree.
Leftovers? Serve over rice and call it lunch!

8 oz can unsweetened pineapple chunks

  1. Alternately thread sausage, veggies and pineapple onto skewers.
  2. Mix honey, soy sauce, nutmeg and pepper in small bowl.
