While you’re waiting for a response, and since I know you’re drooling for a Johnsonville Sausage right about now, I have a perfect game day recipe for you that might just make you happy to change up that halftime routine. By making up a little Mediterranean salad and a quick tzatziki sauce, we can turn those perfectly grilled sausages into a satisfying Sausage Gyro!
I start by making a simple salad with diced cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Then I work on my tzatziki sauce with greek yogurt, shredded cucumber, dill, mint, etc.
For my tzatziki, I love adding a little lemon zest, too. It adds that little something extra that really brings out the other flavors!
I grill up my sausages on a grill pan because, let’s be honest, it is too darned cold in Virginia to be grilling outdoors!
Once finished, I let the sausages rest a little before slicing them and topping my flatbread with some of that tangy tzatziki, some sliced sausage, and that Mediterranean salad.
Game day cooking could not be easier!
