Sausages, via the oven, simplified.

[nonethefewer]

Ingredients:

"Shady Brook Farms Lean Italian Turkey Sausage" sausages:



Steps:

Phase 1

* Start the oven up at 350°.
* Line a pan with tin foil.
* Put one of the nonstick-coated metal racks on the pan.
* Put the sausages on the rack.
* Put the pan on the lower rack in the oven.
* Set a timer for 20 minutes.

Phase 2

* Stick the digital thermometer probe into one of them.
* Wiggle it around until you find the coolest spot.
* Set it to beep when the internal temperature reaches 170°.
* Note: There's a "ground meat" setting you can use if you don't remember the numbers.
* Note: The thermometer to use is the one with the black body and cord, not the silver body and cord.

Notes:

* If the sausages are cooking too slowly for your liking, you can turn the heat up to 375° or 400°; it doesn't really make a difference except in the risk of overcooking/drying out, and the thermometer should take care of that.
* You can put the thermometer in when you first put them in the oven, but usually they're too squishy and it will fall over/slide out.
