Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Pierce the sausages all over with a fork, arrange on a baking sheet and broil, turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 8 minutes (they will not be fully cooked). Transfer to a cutting board and cut in half on the diagonal.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers, fennel and onion and cook, stirring, until they soften slightly, 3 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, the garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes and fennel seeds. Cook, stirring, 1 more minute.
- Stir in 1/2 cup water, the tomatoes and basil. Reduce the heat to medium; cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 5 minutes. Uncover; add the sausages and cook through, 3 to 4 minutes. (Add a splash of water if the sauce gets too thick.) Top with more basil.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook turkey sausages until they begin to brown and firm up, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and let cool slightly before cutting into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices; they will not be completely cooked at this point.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over high heat. Quickly stir-fry onion until it begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add peppers and continue cooking over high heat, stirring constantly, until peppers begin to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcrowd the skillet in order to get a nice char on the vegetables. Mix in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Return sausage, and any accumulated juices, to the skillet. Season with crushed red pepper, salt and pepper and reduce heat to medium. Stir to combine and continue cooking until sausage is no longer pink in the center, about 2 minutes more.

TURKEY SAUSAGE, PEPPER AND ONION SKILLET
Meet weeknight cooking at its best! Combining a few flavorful ingredients (Italian sausage, onions, garlic) with pantry staples (Muir Glen™ crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning) and utilizing a simple cooking technique (grab that skillet), this recipe builds flavor with every step. Here's what we mean: Onions and peppers are sautéed in the drippings left behind from cooking the sausage. Aromatic garlic and Italian seasoning get added toward the end, so they have time to bloom (open up) without getting overcooked. Acidic tomatoes help release any flavor stuck to the bottom of the pan after the other ingredients have been cooked, to the benefit of the entire dish (and the dishwasher!). So the end result is a single-dish dinner alive with richly spiced sausage, silky cooked vegetables and swimming in a tomatoey pan sauce.

TURKEY SAUSAGE & PEPPERS
This is my own recipe for sausage & peppers. Using turkey sausage as opposed to pork can save up to half the amount of fat as the original dish. I use a splash of my own homemade pasta sauce for an extra flavor boost, but you can easily substitute straight-up tomato sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of sausage: For this recipe, Italian sausage or Polish sausage works best. Both have a flavorful and slightly spicy taste that pairs well with the other ingredients.
- Slice the sausage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Use a large skillet: You'll need a large skillet to cook all of the ingredients comfortably. A 12-inch skillet is a good option.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the sausage, don't overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
- Cook the sausage over medium heat: Medium heat is the best temperature for cooking the sausage. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
- Add the peppers and onions halfway through cooking the sausage: This will give the vegetables time to soften and caramelize.
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste: Once the sausage and vegetables are cooked, season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the sausage and vegetables are still hot.
Conclusion:
