Ingredients
- Turkey Sausage
- Zucchini
- Bell Peppers
- Onion
- Olive Oil
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Dried Oregano
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the turkey sausage into ½-inch thick rounds. If using raw crumbled sausage, ensure it's broken up. Cut the zucchini into ½-inch thick half-moons or rounds, bell peppers into 1-inch pieces, and onion into thick wedges.
- In a very large mixing bowl, combine all the chopped turkey sausage, zucchini, bell peppers, and onion. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
- Toss all the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
- Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into a single layer. If the pan looks too crowded, use a second baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, stir or flip the ingredients and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the turkey sausage is browned.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately, optionally finishing with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice.
