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.

This was absolutely delicious! I made it as directed. I did have to serve it in a bowl with a knife and fork for a sort of open-faced sandwich that wasn't open -- it is soupy. I like the reviewers' various suggestions to serve in a bowl with crusty bread or over pasta. I think Mozzarella would enhance it, as some have said. I also think garlic bread along side is a nice idea. I think I'll do some version of all of that next time just because I don't really think this wonderful recipe is best serving its showtime destiny while being cast as a sandwich!

Instead of frying the sausage, I bake it at 350* for about 30 mins until golden. I drain the fat, slice the sausage and add to the pepper and onion mixture. I only use red, yellow and orange peppers. This dish is a Sunday football favorite with a loaf of crusty bread. Go Steelers!!!
