Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb turkey sausage, sliced into ¼-inch rounds (or use any sausage you like)
  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced (optional)
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (or 1 medium tomato, diced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked white rice, for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sausage slices in a single layer and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until softened.
  4. Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 2–3 minutes until they start to soften and release juices.
  5. Return the sausage to the skillet and season with garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and Cajun seasoning. Stir to combine.
  6. Let everything cook for 2–3 minutes to blend flavors and slightly thicken the tomato juices.
  7. Serve hot over cooked white rice and enjoy!

Notes

For a healthier version, consider using brown rice, turkey sausage, and controlling oil usage. Meal prep by making a large batch and portioning it out for quick lunches.
