Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- Large Skillet
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pound Turkey sausage sliced into 1⁄4-inch thick rounds
- 1 large Green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper optional, thinly sliced
- 1 large Yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes halved (or 1 medium tomato, diced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning optional, for a kick
- 2 cups Cooked white rice for serving
Instructions
- Step 1: Warm Up the Skillet – Begin by heating olive oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Step 2: Brown the Turkey Sausage – Arrange the turkey sausage slices in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned. Once done, transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
- Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables – Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the same skillet. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften. Add the cherry tomatoes and continue to cook for another 2–3 minutes, letting the tomatoes break down and release their juices.
- Step 4: Season and Mix Everything Together – Return the browned turkey sausage to the skillet with the vegetables. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and Cajun seasoning if you’re using it. Stir everything together well to blend the flavors.
- Step 5: Finish Cooking – Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, letting all the flavors meld and the juices thicken slightly.
- Step 6: Serve Over Rice – Spoon the savory sausage and vegetable mixture over a bed of hot, cooked white rice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
