Calories: 244kcal
Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 13 ounces Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage sliced into rounds
- 8 Sunset® Wild Wonders® mini peppers
- 1/2 large onion sliced
- 4 ounces sliced mushrooms optional
- 1 1/2 cups Sunset® Bombs® tomatoes
- 1-2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
- 3 cups rice, pasta, quinoa, or cauliflower rice optional for serving
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced turkey smoked sausage and cook until lightly browned on both sides. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Stir in the sliced Sunset® Wild Wonder Mini Peppers, onion, and mushrooms (if using). Add 1/4 cup water to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
- Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning to taste and stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Add Sunset® Bombs® to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes, just until the tomatoes begin to soften and blister slightly.
- Return the cooked sausage to the pain and sauté for 30-60 seconds.
- Serve as is or over cooked rice or pasta.
Notes
Expert Tips
- Slice your sausage into even rounds so they brown uniformly in the skillet.
- Don't overcrowd the pan — give the sausage and vegetables space to sear instead of steam.
- Add the BOMBS® tomatoes at the end so they blister but don't break down completely. You want them juicy, not saucy.
- Taste as you go when adding the Cajun seasoning, since spice levels vary by brand.
- Use a cast iron or stainless steel skillet for the best browning on the sausage.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat with a small splash of water or olive oil until heated through, or microwave individual portions in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. I don't recommend freezing this dish — the tomatoes and peppers tend to lose their texture once thawed.Nutrition
