Crockpot Sausage Recipe

Whether you need a tailgating slow cooker recipe or a quick weeknight meal, this Butterball Turkey Sausage slathered in sauce will be a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Forget the version that uses grape jelly. This sauce made with apricot jam is to die for!
This Slow Cooker Sweet and Spicy Bbq Sausage works for dinner too. Just serve the flavorful sausage over rice with a vegetable on the side and dinner is done!
Butterball turkey products allow you to make better choices for your family without sacrificing any flavor. Wholesome, budget friendly meals that taste fantastic!

Great recipe. This is also great using Oscar Meyer Select hot dogs (no nitrates or nitrites). When I make them, I don’t use the BBQ sauce but I use apricot jam and a splash of cognac or any brandy. They are delicious as well.

That does sound delicious!

Ana says
What kind of BBQ sauce did you use?

Nicole Harris says
I usually use either Sweet Baby Ray’s or KC Masterpiece. I think I used Sweet Baby Ray’s for this recipe. Enjoy!

Hi Nicole,
Can little smokies be used in this recipe or will it mess up the flavor since they aren’t turkey? Thanks,Reply
Nicole Harris says
Lil Smokies are perfectly fine. I love Them!

This sounds super easy and yummy, do you think I could substitute the apricot jam for raspberry or strawberry jam and substitute the turkey sausage for pork sausage links and it still taste as good??
Reply
Nicole Harris says
Absolutely! In fact, that sounds delicious 🙂

How many ounces of meat? Your picture shows 40 oz packages… Is it really 80 oz total?

This is meant for a party or feast! But, feel free to halve the recipe for a smaller family get-together 🙂
