Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb turkey sausage sliced into ¼-inch rounds (or use any sausage you like)
  • 1 large green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper sliced (optional)
  • 1 large yellow onion sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved (or 1 medium tomato, diced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning optional
  • 2 cups cooked white rice for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sausage slices in a single layer and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until softened.
  4. Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 2–3 minutes until they start to soften and release juices.
  5. Return the sausage to the skillet and season with garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and Cajun seasoning. Stir to combine.
  6. Let everything cook for 2–3 minutes to blend flavors and slightly thicken the tomato juices.
  7. Serve hot over cooked white rice and enjoy!

Notes
