Description
Turkey sausage, sweet potato and Brussels sprouts skillet is a one-skillet dinner with just a few basic ingredients but big flavor! This meal is ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
1 lb. hot Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 lb. bag of shredded Brussels sprouts
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add turkey sausage and cook, breaking up with a spatula, until cooked through and crumbled. Remove the sausage to a bowl.
2. To the same pan, add the olive oil. Add the diced sweet potatoes, season with ½ teaspoon salt and the black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Cover the pan and let the sweet potatoes cook for another 7-8 minutes, until almost tender. Add a splash of water or chicken broth if your pan is drying out.
3. Add the shredded Brussels sprouts to the pan, season with remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and an extra pinch of black pepper and sauté with the sweet potatoes for 3 minutes. Add a splash of chicken broth or water, if needed, then cover the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, until everything is tender.
4. Return the cooked turkey sausage to the pan and stir to warm through.
5. Serve hot, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Notes
Turkey sausage: Hot Italian turkey sausage adds extra flavor, but mild, pork, or chicken sausage may be substituted.
Sweet potatoes: Dice evenly for best texture. Butternut squash can be used instead.
Brussels sprouts: Pre-shredded bags save time, but quality varies. Shred your own if needed, or use halved/quartered sprouts.
Parmesan cheese: Adds savory flavor but can be omitted for dairy-free.
Leftovers: Store in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
