Smoked Turkey Sausage and Summer Veggies image

I love to make this dish with the fresh crook-neck squash and zucchini we get from our garden. You can mix this up with any type of your favorite sausage or bratwurst!

Ingredients

1 package(s) smoked turkey sausage (or your favorite brand of sausage or brats)
1 small yellow crooked neck squash
1 small zucchini
1 small onion, sliced in thick onion ring type slices
2 clove(s) garlic, diced
1 medium green pepper, de-seeded and sliced thick
- salt, pepper, fresh cilantro and basil to taste
1 tablespoon(s) extra virgin olive oil
1 small chile pepper, diced (optional)

Steps:

Wash and slice vegetables (I like to use summer squash, zucchini and green peppers). For an added kick, diced up a chile pepper to the mix!
In a large skillet, on medium heat, warm up the olive oil and simmer the diced garlic for about 30 seconds.
Add the squash, zucchini, pepper and onion, then season to taste with salt, pepper and fresh herbs (I also add some Italian seasoning and a dash of seasoned salt).
Lower the heat to medium low, cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, turning the sausages and tossing the vegetables occasionally.
