Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the turkey sausage links to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the sausages and set them aside on a plate.
While the sausage is cooking, dice the red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic, red and yellow bell peppers, and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Slice the cooked turkey sausage into 1/2-inch pieces and return them to the skillet.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes, paprika, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and optional grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Turkey Sausage Skillet!
