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 used lean turkey sausage and baked both the sausage and the peppers and onions in a little coconut oil cooking spray. I served it over whole grain brown rice. My children (even my 2 picky eaters) and husband loved it!

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