Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Turkey sausage links
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Slice the turkey sausage links into 1/2-inch rounds.
Core and slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips.
Peel and slice the onion into thin half-moons.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the turkey sausage slices to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the bell pepper strips and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp.
Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Return the browned sausage to the skillet, and stir to combine with the vegetables.
Pour in the chicken broth, and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the broth to reduce slightly.
Serve the turkey sausage and bell peppers warm on their own or over rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
