Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Turkey chorizo sausages
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley

Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the turkey chorizo links into 1-inch thick pieces.
Chop the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch pieces, slice the zucchini into thick rounds, and cut the red onion into wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bell peppers, zucchini, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss everything until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Place the turkey chorizo and vegetables directly on the preheated grill. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the chorizo is cooked through and vegetables are tender and charred around the edges.

Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the chorizo and vegetables.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the entire dish to brighten the flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy a hearty, healthy meal.
