Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
2 pounds fresh turkey sausage (about 8 links), cut in 1/2
1 medium red onion, quartered and separated
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1- inch-wide strips
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1-inch-wide strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1- inch-wide strips
1 pound green beans, ends trimmed and halved
1 (14-ounce) can no-sugar-added diced tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped basil leaves, plus some for garnish
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces button mushrooms
4 marinated hot cherry peppers, optional
Shaved Parmesan, for garnish
Equipment: oval gratin dish

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 6 minutes. (Don't fully cook the sausage, as it will be finished in the oven.) Drain the fat from the skillet.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and peppers and cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes. Add in the remaining ingredients except for the mushrooms, cherry peppers, and Parmesan and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 3 minutes.

Combine the sausage, vegetable mixture, mushrooms, and cherry peppers in the gratin dish. Bake uncovered until well browned, about 40 minutes. Serve garnished with basil leaves and Parmesan.

AWESOME DISH!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make this dish all the time, been cooking it since it first aired on the Food Network! It's one of my favorites!!! I... eliminate the cherry peppers and I substitute the turkey sausage with mild and hot italian sausage, but I boil the sausage first then slice about 1/2 inch circles and toss in skillet to crisp before I put in the oven. I usually use red, yellow and orange peppers and eliminate the green pepper out of convenience. My husband loves it and we add penne when we serve it for company. Delicious!Read more

Authentic Italian
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was looking for something that was similar to Sausage and Peppers we had at an Italian family dinner. It is really good... with a lot less olive oil! Wouldn't change a thing. The only veggies that are critical to the dish are the peppers, onions and canned tomatoes. Leave out what you don't have.Read more

AMAZING!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Stumbled upon this recipe and what a treasure I found! Been reading all these "low carb" comments and let me tell you I had... no idea this was a healthy dish. Taste as good as the best S&P Ive ever had from grandma or any great restaurant. A definite winner!Read more

OUTSTANDING
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is simply delicious. I used sweet Italian sausages and did not use the red pepper flakes or hot cherry peppers... as we cannot tolerate HOT spices. This makes quite a bit so be sure to use at least a 4 quart casserole. Leftovers can be frozen and reheated and are just as delicious. This is a winner !!!!!!!!!!Read more

Easy and Satisfying
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm relatively a beginner and I thought this dish was quick and easy to make. My husband loved it. We're donig low carbs,... but I think this dish would be great with a side of rice or even pasta. I will definitely make this one again.Read more

Absolutely GREAT
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this dish,(without the hot peppers) and it was really tasty! Even if you don't do low-carb, you can add a few baby... reds to the casserole and it will come out perfectly. I will definitely make this again.Read more
