Hot Italian Turkey Sausage, Squash, and Marinara Sauce

It was just before 7 pm and I had to figure out dinner.  I opened the freezer and found some Jennie-O Hot Italian Sausage.  Opened the refrigerator, saw a small bag of baby summer squash, and mini bell peppers.  Found an onion in the bowl on the counter, and a jar of sauce in the cupboard.  Threw it all together and it was amazing.  Try it, you’ll like it, and it went together in a total of 20-30 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium onion chopped
• 4 mini sweet bell peppers chopped
• 2 ½ Jennie-O Hot Italian Sausage
• A small bag of baby squash quartered
• 12 ounces of marinara sauce
• 5 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Heat a large skillet to medium high
2. Remove the turkey sausage from the casing and brown in the pan with the onion and peppers until onion is translucent and turkey sausage is cooked through stirring frequently
3. Add the quartered baby squash and mix into the sausage onion pepper mixture
4. Add the marinara sauce and stir in thoroughly
5. Cover and cook until squash is done to your liking
6. Serve in bowls, topping with grated parmesan
