Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links low-fat turkey sausages
- 4 whole wheat sandwich rolls
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Slice the red bell pepper and yellow onion into thin strips.
Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the skillet. Once hot, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened.
Meanwhile, heat a separate non-stick pan over medium heat and add the turkey sausages. Cook them for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are fully cooked through.
Split the whole wheat sandwich rolls and lightly toast them if desired.
Once the peppers and onions are cooked, season them with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Remove from heat.
Assemble each sandwich by spreading 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on each toasted sandwich roll.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of the roll, followed by one turkey sausage link.
Top the sausage with a portion of sautéed peppers and onions.
Place the top half of the roll over the sandwich ingredients and serve immediately.
