Ingredients

Scale

Sausage

  • 1 lb sausage (Italian, chicken, or turkey)

Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Oils and Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional spices: 1 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, or 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Slice the sausage into bite-sized pieces and chop all the vegetables evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Sauté the sausage: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the sausage pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.
  3. Cook the veggies: In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed, then add onions and garlic. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add bell peppers and zucchini, cooking until tender but still vibrant, about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine and season: Return the sausage to the skillet and stir everything together. Season with salt, pepper, and any optional spices preferred. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to marry the flavors.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Once everything is heated through and well combined, plate the Sausage and Veggie Skillet and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Choose high-quality sausage to elevate the dish’s flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure proper cooking without steaming.
  • Add vegetables in stages to maintain ideal texture and even cooking.
  • Use a non-stick skillet for easier cooking and cleanup.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or basil added at the end brighten the dish.
