Turkey Sausage & Peppers image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 hot Italian turkey sausage
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup pasta sauce (or tomato sauce)
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a pan on high. Pat the sausages dry and brown on all sides. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add the second tablespoon of oilve oil to the same pan and saute the peppers and onions until tender. I prefer to keep the peppers slightly crisp.
  • Add the pasta sauce, vinegar and water to the vegetables and saute for a minute or two.
  • Add the sausages back to the pan. I like to slice them into bite-sized pieces, but you can certainly keep them whole.
  • Stir everything together and season with salt and pepper.
