Steps:

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until no longer pink and completely cooked (at least 165°F). Using slotted spoon, transfer to plate, and keep warm.
• Reduce heat to medium; add onions and peppers to drippings. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in garlic and seasoning; cook 30 to 60 seconds or until garlic is fragrant.
• Stir in tomatoes and sausage; heat to simmering, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; cook uncovered 8 to 10 minutes or until completely heated through.
• Garnish with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese.

TURKEY SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Pierce the sausages all over with a fork, arrange on a baking sheet and broil, turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 8 minutes (they will not be fully cooked). Transfer to a cutting board and cut in half on the diagonal.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers, fennel and onion and cook, stirring, until they soften slightly, 3 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, the garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes and fennel seeds. Cook, stirring, 1 more minute.
• Stir in 1/2 cup water, the tomatoes and basil. Reduce the heat to medium; cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 5 minutes. Uncover; add the sausages and cook through, 3 to 4 minutes. (Add a splash of water if the sauce gets too thick.) Top with more basil.

Steps:

• Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a pan on high. Pat the sausages dry and brown on all sides. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Add the second tablespoon of oilve oil to the same pan and saute the peppers and onions until tender. I prefer to keep the peppers slightly crisp.
