Recipe Makeover Sausage and Peppers

Sausage and Peppers have long been a regular meal in my supper rotation. The onions and peppers melt together to create a luscious confit bursting with fiery garlic and zesty spice. Add a couple of links of sausage and it’s a super flavorful and very easy casual supper perfect for any day of the week. And, it can be a big huge fat bomb. Often this recipe starts with a few glugs of oil and one link of Italian sausage comes in at 260 calories a pop and a whopping 30% or more of recommended daily allowance of fat. Yikes. Even turkey sausage hits 170 calories per link. Who eats one link of sausage? Ha! Are you ready for the tantalizing aroma of fennel and roasted sweet peppers? You’re going to love my recipe makeover for this modern comfort classic.

    I don’t know if you have tried Publix Green Wise Chicken Sausage I love the mild Italian, but the hot Italian would be great for your recipe.
    I don’t know the calorie count but I just love the taste and that texture. I’m from the UK and just have to have a bangers and mash dinner every now and again and they are my guilty pleasure.😋
    I can’t wait to try your take on this classic. Thank you.
