TURKEY SAUSAGE WITH FRESH GARDEN VEGETABLES
I came up with this recipe while looking for ways to cut back on saturated fats. Having a passion for Italian food gives you a creative edge while you are thinking of recipes and ingredients to satisfy those craving's for saucie dishes. This one is full of flavor from the sweet & hot turkey sausage and is loaded with veggies that are married in the chunky sauce. This meal can also be made without the sausage and just as delicious.

TURKEY SAUSAGE AND VEGETABLE FRITTATA SANDWICH
Steps:
- Cut bread horizontally in half. Cut out soft insides, leaving 1/2-inch-thick shells. Brush inside of bread shells with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Crumble sausage into large non-stick broilerproof skillet. Sauté over medium heat until brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer sausage to bowl. Add onion, zucchini, bell pepper, tomato and garlic to skillet and sauté until vegetables are tender and liquid evaporates, about 9 minutes. Mix in basil. Cool briefly.
- Preheat broiler. Beat eggs in large bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in sausage, then vegetable mixture. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture. Cover and cook until almost set, occasionally lifting edges to allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath, about 7 minutes.
- Sprinkle top of frittata with Parmesan. Broil until eggs are set in center and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Run spatula around edge of skillet to loosen frittata and slide into bottom shell of bread over, pressing to fit. Press top half of bread over. Cut into wedges and serve or wrap in foil and serve within 1 hour.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients. Fresh, organic vegetables and high-quality sausage will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of roast and they won't get as caramelized.
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender and slightly browned. This will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor.
- Add the sausage to the pan during the last 10-15 minutes of roasting. This will ensure that the sausage is cooked through without drying out.
- Serve the dish immediately. This is a dish that is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Turkey sausage with roasted root vegetables is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
