One pan kielbasa hash is an easy, crowd-pleaser of a meal. It’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Turkey kielbasa is sautéed until crispy, and then tossed with cooked peppers, onions, and shredded hash browns. Top this hash with some over-easy eggs for the perfect meal.
All about this recipe
I have been making some variation of this recipe for my family for years! I first saw the idea for a kielbasa hash on a Pinterest board (maybe 10 years ago? We weren’t even married yet) from my friend who made it for dinner. It included traditional kielbasa, olive oil, and sweet potatoes, which are all delicious, of course. I was always amazed by how the flavor of the kielbasa permeated the dish, and required virtually no other seasoning.
Over the years, the recipe has evolved in my home, as I realized that turkey kielbasa is healthier and equally delicious, that sweet potatoes sometimes take too long to cook, and that tons of olive oil isn’t always necessary when cooking. So this is my “lightened-up” variation of something we have been eating for years as a family.
Sometimes I serve pierogis on the side of this dish, and I almost always serve this dish with eggs on top. It has become one of my “go-to” meals, especially for busy weeknight dinners.
This dish is also a great make-ahead dish. You can easily cook this the day before serving, and it reheats beautifully right in the skillet you cooked it in, or in the microwave.
What you’ll need for this recipe
This recipe is more of a method; there are minimal ingredients required here. You also can add any other ingredients you would like, use diced potatoes instead of hash browns, or use sweet potatoes. It can also easily be adjusted to serve more people.
- turkey kielbasa
- bell peppers
- onions
- shredded hash browns
- kosher salt
- olive oil spray
Hey! I thought you didn’t eat turkey bacon, why turkey kielbasa?
I’m not going to lie, it took me years to try turkey kielbasa… and honestly, it takes exactly the same as the traditional one! I can only speak for the brand I use (Hillshire Farms) but I can not taste a difference whatsoever, and neither can Emilio (he doesn’t even know its turkey kielbasa, shhh!).
But, the turkey kielbasa is 100 calories or 3 WW points for 2 ounces, where as the traditional is 184 calories or 7 WW points (the fat content is higher).
You can use any kind your family prefers, or you can use any cooked, smoked sausage with a similar flavor profile.
How to make one pan kielbasa hash
This is truly a one pan dish. Everything is cooked in one frying pan, but it happens in stages. So make sure you have a decent sized one, preferably one with high sides to hold everything in.
Start off by chopping up the kielbasa. For this dish, I chopped it into half-moon shapes. Also, dice up your peppers and onions so they are ready to go.
Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat, and then add some olive oil spray. Add the chopped kielbasa, and cook the pieces for 10 minutes. Since the kielbasa is fully cooked, we are just looking to brown the pieces up and render some flavor.
After the 10 minutes, remove them from the pan and set aside. Then, add more olive oil spray and add your peppers and onions. Cook the peppers and onions for another 10 minutes, and season them with a pinch of salt.
Remove them from the pan, spray the pan again, and add the hash browns. These will cook for anywhere from 5-10 minutes depending on whether they were frozen or not. But, there is no science here, so just keep your eye on them. We are just looking for them to turn golden brown and crispy.
Once those are done, add everything back to the pan and stir to combine.
How to serve one pan kielbasa hash
The serving size for this dish (based on the amounts of ingredients I used) is one cup. Of course, this might vary based on the size of your peppers and onions.
This dish is great on its own, but if you are looking to bulk up the protein factor, you can serve it with some runny, over easy eggs. Break the yolk and mix everything together, and it’s heaven in a bowl. That’s also what makes this dish ideal for any time of day!

Super easy to make and delicious! Reheats beautifully! Been eating for lunches this week topped with a runny egg.
My husband loved this recipe since it’s not in our normal rotation of weeknight meals. The indulgence of a breakfast-type meal for dinner was well received. We topped with over easy eggs and some sriracha and this was a crowd pleaser. Thank you, Steph for inspiring this new dish!
After a day of cleaning house and doing laundry this very easy One Pan Kielbasa Hash was so simple and easy to cook. Fantastic and definitely my new go to for quick and easy dinner. So good!
Oh. My. Goodness! I love this dish. It was SO easy (for non-chefs like me) and is delicious! It makes a lot, so it’ll be easy to prep for additional meals throughout the week. I added a couple drops of sriracha for a little zing – soooo good!
Just made this tonight. Soooo good!
I was getting tired of having the same thing for lunch every day and this was the perfect new recipe to try! Super easy to prep the night before so i have lunches for a few days. So much flavor from just a few ingredients and the egg is a great addition. Definitely going to be making again!
Delicious! You’ve done it again!
Amazing recipe!! Made it again last night for my boyfriend and I and he had to tell me again today How much he enjoyed it. We’re not fans of peppers and I was a little nervous making this but omg sooooo good definitely recommend! Made it twice already 👌🏼
This may be my new favorite meal! I love a good Skillet for breakfast but I’ve been making this for dinner and adding eggs and it is *chefs kiss*. Thanks for the great recipe!
There are seriously very few recipes I haven’t tried from this site, but this recipe and the sheet pan sausage and peppers are in regular rotation. The husband thinks we are “eating bad” when I make them. 🙂
Made this for my family one night when we all got home late! This is a perfect recipe for those nights you need a quick dinner but still want something delicious and healthy! One pan, so easy and SO good! Loved it!
AMAZING and so easy! So much flavor! Will definitely be making again.
Another delicious recipe! I scrambled 4 eggs with egg whites and divided everything up into 4 containers for breakfast meal prep. Almost added cheese but glad I didn’t. The flavor alone was outstanding and no need for the extra calories!
So easy & so delicious! I have made this at least once a month since posted. I made it for brunch with eggs when our family visited. It was even a hit with our grandsons! I made it when I had an unexpected dinner guest. I’ve made it when I needed dinner in a hurry and I have made it just because I was craving it! Everyone has said how delicious it is! This is a great versatile recipe which can be eaten any time of day!
I made this dish and had it with runny eggs, it was so good. Don’t skip this recipe, it’s delicious and very filling. Thanks, Steph for another amazing recipe!
Made this tonight for a quick dinner. Served with an egg. So yummy, flavorful and filling. Again, thank you!
Love this dish and it’s super easy to cook’
It was great! We may try only cutting the kielbasa in slices to make it juicier
Quick easy and very good
I make some version of this recipe every other week. Whenever I have vegetables to use up in they go. So delish and easy and a lovely savory breakfast option. In place of the hash browns I usually roast whatever leftover potatoes I have on hand from the week. It is so goood and reheats well all week especially with a little bit of hot sauce. Yum!
