Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Low sodium turkey sausage links
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 2 medium Carrot, sliced
- 2 stalks Celery stalk, sliced
- 1 medium Zucchini, sliced
- 1 14.5-ounce can Canned no-salt-added diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Low sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Russet potato, diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Brown the turkey sausage links on all sides until they are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until they are translucent and fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the zucchini and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, thyme, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine the ingredients well.
Place the diced potatoes in a large casserole dish. Top with the cooked vegetable mixture followed by the sliced sausage pieces.
Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the lid or foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to slightly thicken the sauce.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty, low sodium meal!
