Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian turkey sausage
2 red bell peppers, sliced
2 yellow onions, sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup Marsala wine
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
4 to 6 fresh Italian sandwich rolls, optional

Directions

Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until brown on both sides, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain.

Keeping the pan over medium heat, add the peppers, onions, salt, and pepper and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the oregano, basil, and garlic and cook 2 more minutes.

Add the tomato paste and stir. Add the Marsala wine, tomatoes, and chili flakes, if using. Stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

Cut the sausages into 4 to 6 pieces each, about 1-inch cubes. Add the sausage back to the pan and stir to combine. Cook until the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes.

Serve in bowls. Or, if serving as a sandwich, split the rolls in half lengthwise. Hollow out the bread from the bottom side of each roll, being careful not to puncture the crust. Fill the bottom half of the roll with sausage mixture. Top and serve sandwiches immediately.

Molto Bene! Tasty!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I put it over brown rice. It ended up closer in consistency to a goulash, and it was very flavorful; good depth of flavor. ... A very good result! I used spicy sausage, and half the pepper flakes....I might have backed off a bit more on the pepper flakes given it was plenty spicy. Thanks Giada! Read more

No real surprise
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I read the recipe and then read all the fabulous reviews and couldn't figure it out so I had to make it. It just sounded... real basic. As it turns out, it's just that. There's nothing wrong with it but I've made better sausage,peppers and onions just throwing some stuff together from my pantry. I found this recipe pretty blah.Read more

Awesome recipe!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I felt like I created a masterpeice when I made this for dinner. I had a hard time eating this on a sub roll because there is... so much juice, but it is good juice. I made the recipe with pork sausage and served it with cheesy scalloped potatoes. I cannot wait to make it again and again! Are there any other types of wine that can be used to make this dish just in case I do not have marsala wine on hand?Read more
