Lackmann Putenkrakauer Sausage
What it is
This is a type of cooked sausage made from turkey. It is typically cured and smoked, giving it a distinct flavor and firm texture. The sausage is pre-cooked, making it convenient for quick meals. It is often sold in a ring or as individual links. The meat is finely ground and seasoned with a blend of spices that contribute to its savory taste. It is a popular choice for those seeking a lighter alternative to pork-based sausages.
How people cook with it
Putenkrakauer is versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple snacks to more elaborate dishes.
- Sliced for sandwiches
- Added to breakfast plates
- Cubed for salads
- Heated for a quick meal
To prepare, simply remove the sausage from its packaging. It can be eaten cold, sliced thinly for sandwiches or charcuterie boards. For a warm dish, it can be pan-fried, grilled, or simmered in water until heated through. Slicing it before heating allows for even cooking and browning. It pairs well with a variety of accompaniments, such as mustard, bread, or cooked vegetables. Its pre-cooked nature means it only needs to be brought to serving temperature.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional pork Krakauer, this version uses turkey, resulting in a leaner profile. The flavor is generally milder, with the turkey's natural taste coming through more prominently. The texture is similar, firm and slightly chewy, but the absence of pork fat gives it a lighter mouthfeel.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining sausage in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within a few days to maintain its freshness and quality. Ensure it is kept chilled to prevent spoilage.
