I’ve mentioned before that I love Sausage and Peppers. I usually make my father’s recipe with tomato sauce – but my husband wanted a lighter version of this, so I changed things up a little. I didn’t use any tomato-based sauce, I used lean turkey sausage, and baked the dish. I served it over brown rice, rather than pasta. It was a nice change and even my 2 picky eaters and husband loved it!

Ingredients:
2 packages lean sweet turkey sausage
4 multi-colored peppers (organic if possible)

Cooking spray
Brown Rice
Directions:
Bake turkey sausages for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees. I use a metal pan like this in my oven. I now usually use parchment paper to line my pans.

We usually sweet and spicy sausage. Turkey sausage is a healthier choice.
