Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (16 oz) Frozen Pierogi, potato and cheese preferred
  • 1 pound Turkey Sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 medium Onion, diced

  4. Add Seasoning and Broth: Sprinkle garlic powder over the layers and pour in enough chicken broth to cover but not submerge.
  5. Repeat Layers: Repeat layering with the remaining pierogi, onions, turkey sausage, and cream cheese. Add more broth until it looks cozy.
