OK, here is what you can do. First go under the sink and unplug the garbage disposal. Then using tongs, pliers, your hand, etc., clean out as much of the brussel sprouts you can. There is a reset button, typically at the bottom of the disposal, press it, it should click. If you have the hex wrench that came with the unit, you should be able to manually turn the disposal the clear the jam.Remove the wrench (Note: if you do not have a wrench, you might be able to get one at Lowe's.) Be sure the switch is OFF, turn on the water, plug in the disposal, and then turn on the switch. The remaining brussel sprouts should grind up. then with lots of water running place the rest in slowly, one at a time.
Hope this helps.
