    Our favorite part of this one pan recipe is the bright, colorful and FRESH vegetables.  You can totally make this recipe your own using your favorite vegetables.

    We tried to hit all of the colors of the garden by using zucchini, cabbage, bell pepper and tomatoes. But we can so imagine this one skillet meal with yellow summer squash and bok choy.

    We used smoked turkey sausage to keep this recipe on the healthy-side, but you can use your favorite. Or if you are vegetarian or want a meatless side dish, skip it.

    Trust me, the flavors of the seasoned vegetables are delicious.

    Veggie Sausage One Skillet Meal is full of fresh, healthy vegetables

    A few simple seasonings flavor this veggie sausage skillet. Garlic, salt, pepper and basil.  That's it. Just pile the fresh chopped vegetables on top, cover and simmer.

    Tip: Don't overcook the vegetables. You want to them to be crisp-tender so every bite has just a little crunch to it. (No one wants soggy veggies.)

    The cherry tomatoes will be bursting.  The juice from the tomatoes combines with the water and seasonings and creates perfect flavor.

      I love this recipe and the fact that everything is fresh. Not to mention easy and ready in 30 minutes. I do agree don't over cook the veggies, crisp is the best. Thanks for a great dinner idea 🙂

        Thanks, Sam! We make a variation of this recipe all the time around our house. Easy, mostly healthy and everyone in the house will eat it.

        (By the way, love your site, and can't wait to try that Homemade Meat Marinade you have. Looks great!)

      This was DELICIOUS! I used Tofurky Italian Sausage. I used about 4 c. coleslaw mix instead of cutting a cabbage (I didn't measure). I diced the onion instead of wedges. Everything else I did as written. Based on the ingredients, I figured it would be a little bland and boring. To my surprise, it is a new favorite! Thank you!

      Cutting the onions in wedges… will they cook in time with the zucchini and peppers? ( 🫑 I’m going to use green peppers instead)

        Yes, should be no problem. Of course it depends on how "done" you like your veggies. I like mine a little crisp tender.
