Italian Sausage and Peppers are the dish that my husband orders every time when we go to a restaurant. He loves a good spicy sausage. He prefers his with a some marinara sauce or diced tomatoes but you could definitely make these without too.

I feel like they are two sides when it comes to Italian Sausage and Peppers: those who like theirs with marinara and those who don’t.

You can use mild sweet sausage or hot sausage. I personally like a sweet more mild sausage but my husband likes it as spicy as it gets.

We actually used turkey sausage in these photos which have the same flavor but are a little healthier with less fat.

Brown the sausages pretty well on all sides but not cooked entirely through. Slice them up and then you’ll cook them longer later.

You could use the same color or different colors. I like the flavor of one red and one green. I like to use olive oil and butter. I like the flavor of the butter but the olive oil has a higher burn point so together they are perfect!

Add some garlic, a little chicken broth or cooking wine, and some diced tomatoes. There you have a delicious recipe for Italian Sausage and Peppers. Eat this for lunch, as a sandwich, or with eggs!

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

Instruction:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
