Spicy Sausage and Veggies

Spicy sausage and veggies is a quick and easy, healthy, 21 Day Fix dinner. Turkey or chicken sausage is sauteed with fresh mushrooms, tomatoes, and zucchini, then topped with Parmesan cheese. SO delicious!

Confession #34 – I never intended to make this spicy sausage and veggies.  But then I made it two nights…in a row.

It doesn’t look like much, but it was really SO yummy!

I actually planned to make a pot of meat sauce on Sunday with spicy chicken sausage and, well, that never happened.   So instead, when I got home from work on Monday, I quickly chopped up some fresh veggies – mushrooms, tomatoes, zucchini and onions and sautéed the chicken sausage.  Then I brightened it up with some fresh lemon, basil, and shredded parmesean.  And viola!

Not too shabby.

The best part?  My tomato hating husband loved it, and ate EVERY tomato.

I’ve been loving quick, one pot meals where I can get my protein and my veggies in…and this one is perfect for that.  So easy, but full of flavor!
