Italian Sausage with Three Peppers
Italian Turkey Sausage with Three Peppers
Cooking Light, NOVEMBER 2004
As usual, I didn’t follow the directions on this recipe. We used regular Italian sausage instead of the turkey kind. It just didn’t look appetizing! I don’t think you can screw this up and it’s gonna taste just like you think it will. We topped it with marinara and served it on whole wheat buns. It was GOOD!

Italian Sausage with Three Peppers
Use a variety of bell peppers--red, yellow, and orange--for visual appeal. Crushed red and ground black round out the peppers of the recipe's title.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds red potatoes, quartered
- Cooking spray
- 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 hot Italian turkey sausages (about 1 [19 1/2-ounce] package)
- 3 bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375º.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Toss to coat. Bake at 375º for 40 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally.
- While potatoes cook, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pierce the sausage casings several times with a fork. Add sausages to pan; cook 5 minutes or until lightly brown. Remove sausages from pan.
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in pan. Add bell peppers; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of salt, vinegar, rosemary, and crushed red pepper. Return sausages to pan; cover and cook over medium-low heat 15 minutes or until the sausages are done.
