Description

A satisfying and healthy weeknight meal featuring lean sausage and a medley of fresh spring vegetables, all cooked in one skillet for minimal cleanup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound fully cooked chicken or turkey sausage (such as Italian or kielbasa), sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • ½ cup frozen corn (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. 2. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
  3. 3. Push sausage to one side or remove. Add red onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Return sausage if removed.
  4. 4. Add bell peppers and broccoli. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender-crisp.
  5. 5. Stir in snap peas and corn (if using). Add oregano and basil. Cook for 2-3 minutes until snap peas are bright green.

  7. 7. Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat with a splash of water, or in the microwave.
