Author's Notes

Safely cooked sausage can be pink inside. This can be caused by the cooking method or added ingredients. To ensure that sausage is safe to eat, use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Ostrowski of Bank Street, Inc. Fresh Polish Kielbasa is a favorite sausage of Baltimore. Other mild raw pork sausage or smoked kielbasa can be substituted.
