TURKEY SAUSAGE, PEPPER AND ONION SKILLET

Turkey Sausage, Pepper and Onion Skillet image

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.

This easy and flavorful skillet recipe is one you'll want to put in your regular rotation. It's healthier than using pork sausage and makes for a quick weeknight dinner, and works well for meal-prepping. I like to serve mine over steamed rice.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 sweet Italian turkey sausage links (such as Jennie-O®)
1 large red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

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.

Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients: Opt for fresh, flavorful vegetables, and use a good quality turkey sausage for the best results.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking the vegetables and sausage in batches will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
Season generously: Use a variety of herbs and spices to add flavor to the dish. Some good options include garlic, onion, paprika, chili powder, and cumin.
Cook the sausage until browned: This will give it a nice crispy texture and help to release its flavors.
Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will help them retain their鮮豔色彩 and crisp texture.
Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot, so it's a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

Conclusion:

This turkey sausage and pepper skillet is a delicious and versatile dish that can be customized to suit your taste. It's a great way to use up leftover turkey sausage, and it's also a healthy and affordable meal option. Whether you serve it over rice, pasta, or potatoes, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
