I love to keep pre-cooked sausages on hand in my freezer. They are easy to pull out last-minute, thaw in the microwave and use in various different recipes. One of my family’s favorite meals for lunch, dinner or linner is Italian sausage sandwiches.
These sandwiches come together quickly and easily. All you need is a package of italian turkey or chicken sausages, a 16 ounce jar of spaghetti sauce, buns, provolone (or any cheese you have on hand will work), and butter.
I split the sausages in half lengthwise, brown them in a skillet, pour the marinara sauce over them, simmer for a few minutes, place a sausage plus a nice ladle of sauce on a toasted bun, cover with a slice of provolone or mozzarella cheese, melt under the broiler and Voila!! Dinner is served in 15 minutes FLAT!
Everyone loves this meal and I love it because it’s so easy and it’s t perfect for using up leftover hamburger buns, or sub sandwich buns, I always have leftover buns of some sort!

Italian Turkey Sausage Sandwiches
makes 6
1 package of 6 pre-cooked Turkey or Chicken Sausages
1 16 ounce jar of Marinara Sauce
6 slices of Provolone Cheese
6 Buns of any sort (ciabatta, sub sandwich buns, hamburger buns all work well)
4 tablespoons Butter
Cut sausages in half lengthwise, pan fry in a large skillet on high heat until sausages begin to brown. Flip over and brown on the other side. Turn heat down to low and pour marinara sauce over sausages and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Lay buns out face up on baking sheet butter and toast under the broiler. After toasting remove half of the buns from the baking sheet and place one sausage on each bun remaining on the sheet, spoon a little bit of the sauce over the sausage, lay a piece of cheese over the sausage and sauce and place the sandwiches back under the broiler for 30 seconds or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Cover with top bun and serve.
Enjoy!

3. Am still in search of a decent pastie….I may be gone awhile.
Yaaaa, Sheila
MMMMMMMMM. I’ve been doing Barre 3 nights a week so I need dinners that come together super quickly. This is perfect. And it makes total sense to go to Barre and then come home and eat this right?
It IS turkey sausage after all. 🙂
What is Barre? Oh this has O calories by the way 😉 hahah!
OOOH YES! I love zero calorie sausage sandwiches! 🙂 Barre is a workout that combines the ballet barre, yoga and Pilates. It kicks my butt and I am totally obsessed with it! 🙂
I have never heard of this…will have to see if I can find it near me…I have done yoga/pilates classes and I love them!
Cooked sausages never make it to the fridge in this house – never you mind the freezer!!!
Still, these look delicioso!
I will have five please!! Hope you’re having a blast!
LOOOOOVE sammies! Especially ones smothered with cheese!
I always have sausages too that are precooked. they are so handy for breakfast and dinner. Love the sammy idea!!!
That’s a great quick dinner. I have been known to open the sausages and make meatballs out of them and have meatball subs. This is easier!
hey I’d say making meatballs out of uncased sausage is pretty clever!
Thanks for the great idea of keeping these on hand in the freezer. I’m gonna go get me some from Costco this afternoon!
I hope you enjoy Karin! Thanks for stopping by 😉
You are a life savor my dear! We just got back from the lake and didn’t know what to make for dinner tonight. Problem solved! I heart you!!!
So glad I could help ; D xoxox Luv, Sheila
What a great idea! I never thought of pre-cooked sausages in the freezer. Super time saver when crunched for time for dinner! Will do!
