Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces turkey sausage links
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cups water
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the turkey sausage links and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest for a few minutes.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Stir well to coat the broccoli with the seasonings.
Pour the 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and cover with a lid. Let the broccoli steam for 4-5 minutes until it becomes tender but still crisp.
Slice the cooked turkey sausages into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet with the broccoli. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle lemon juice over the dish. Stir well to incorporate.
If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top for added richness.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthy and hearty Turkey Sausage with Broccoli!
