Tonight’s dinner was a classic Italian one pot dish- Sausage and Peppers.
I make mine using turkey sausage and it is a great substitute.
Turkey Sausage and Peppers with Potatoes
Ingredients:
8 turkey sausages (hot or sweet, I usually use both)
6-8 medium bell peppers
7 small/medium onions
6-8 yukon gold or red skin potatoes
Olive Oil
Salt, pepper, red pepper flake, garlic powder, paprika
How To:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
Cut up the peppers and onions. (I like to put a garbage bag next to the cutting board to put the pepper stems and onion skins in.)
Put some olive oil in the bottom of a roasting dish
Add the peppers and onions
Cut the potatoes into wedges and add them to the pan
Season liberally and then toss to coat
Add the sausages in, and nestle them into the veggies
Put a little more olive oil on top, and then cover the roasting pan with tin foil
Cook covered for 1 hour, and then uncovered for another 25 min. I also broil the dish for the last 5 minutes to get a little crisp goin on.
Serve on rolls or just as is. We like to add some hot sauce 
It’s also one of those meals that can serve a huge crowd, and is also better the next day!
It’s a win/win!
Attention vegetarians! You could also use these methods and leave out the sausages (or use veggie sausage). If you just go for the veggies, maybe add a little more red pepper flake and paprika and perhaps a dash of fennel seed.
Do you have any one pot favorites?
What foods do you think taste better the next day?
This looks fab!!!! I think the Husband and I would add some hot sauce too!
This looks great & simple to make. Love it.
I think lasagna and eggplant parm are by far better the next day. I think it’s because the dish firms up and the flavors have time to blend.
Ditto, those are two dishes that are totally better the next day.
This is a great idea for a crowd or to make less for just a few. One pot wonders are my favorites. In fact, that’s most of what I make. I love a good lentil stew.
Mmm..lentil stew sounds great.
I am definitely making this!! So easy and so tasty looking! How do you know all these simple meals?? I need to start reading your cookbooks
I think most of my meal ideas come from things I grew up eating and made my own! I also don’t know how to make too many fancy things
oo turkey sausages sound amazing! idont eat red meat so this is perfectt
They are really good- even my husband prefers them over pork.
That is one of my favorite dishes to make!
I love cooking soups or stews in my crock pot. I just made a vegetable cheese tortellini soup…so easy and so good!
Ooh sounds good! I love tortellini!
I’ve never made sausage and peppers like that. I usually chop and sautee everything up. This look great though and is probably way more flavorful.
I think this helps to keep the sausage really juicy since turkey is so lean. Its very flavorful and even more so the next day!
Wow that looks delicious!! Great way to feed a crowd inexpensively I would think. Def will try this!
You should, it’s so easy and a real winner! Miss you!
I miss you too! I’ll try to write tomorrow, I’ve been like you and drowning in projects. I totally need a Jamie pep talk though.
