Turkey Polish Sausage and Peppers

  4.2 – 42 reviews  • Italian

Think outside the box and add some sweet apple flavor to your sausage gravy before serving it in a boat made of crusty French bread. However, you can just try a different gravy flavor if you still enjoy biscuits with sausage gravy.

PLEASE after you cover the skillet turn down heat to low!! I didn’t (since the recipe didn’t say to – should have known better), and everything on the bottom got burned.
Crystal Pace
I’ve made similar for years, but this made it jump out of the ballpark. The steak seasoning is ingenious. Other than skipping the balsamic vinegar and parmesan for personal preferences, it was perfect.
Fernando Jones
This was AWESOME! Used only 2 peppers and 1 zucchini. My skillet would not hold all that the recipe called for! Served it over brown rice. Yummy!!
Jennifer Goodwin
It is so good! I have used this recipe several times and improvise with the peppers I have on hand and add potatoes. Yum!
Hannah Blankenship
made this exactly as written, the only exception is that I used zucchini noodles instead of chopped to give it come contrast and fried my sausage a little before adding it to the mix. It’s still amazing. Saving to my saved pile to definitely make again
Thomas Harmon
This is a good dish. I omitted the zucchini, because I felt it just didn’t fit and I cut the amounts of peppers and garlic in half. I made some with the balsamic vinegar and some without. Both were good. It came together very fast, which was great. I would definitely make this again.
Tracy French
What caught my eye was the steak seasoning and garlic with the veggies. It was really good. The parm on top was a nice touch, too. Will make again for sure!!
Lori Thompson
Very tasty! I would recommend cooking the sausage in another pan before adding it to the veggies. Also, I didn’t have balsamic vinegar, so I used rice vinegar…and this recipe still was pretty great.
Walter Hanson
I didn’t add onion powder n added some beef broth the last 10 minutes it is a very delicious meal. I put it in a bowl on top of rice
Kathy Burke
I loved this dish ! I think I over cooked it alittle but it was delicious. I spiralized the zucchini and just added it at the end.

Loved the balsamic vinegar w/this. Wow! I partially fried some potatoes in a separate pan then added them w/the pepper mixture along w/the sausage. They were perfect when all was done. I only used green peppers, red peppers, & red onions for the veggies, as that was all I had & was looking for a way to use them up. I’ll def make this again!

I saw this recipe after looking for a recipe to use a package of Johnsonville sweet Italian sausage. I had a couple of small green peppers and used that for the peppers suggested. I didnt have mushrooms, but boiled 6 red potatoes I halved to make sure I still got the same servings. I liked the seasonings. I would not have thought to use steak seasoning, but did half the onion powder. I cooked the vegetables, removed them, and the decased and cut the sausages into pieces, and cooked them separately. I drained the sausage on a paper towel and served on a platter along side the vegetables. I realized I never garnished with the balsamic and parmesan at the end and it was fine. Ty

My family loves this meal. Perfect combination of spices/textures.
William Woodward
This was fantastic and got rave reviews from my husband!!!! I will definitely make this again. I didn’t have parmesan on hand, but this is so good it didn’t need it. I served my dish with chicken flavored rice, but thought that this would be great with buttered noodles as well. Thanks for submitting!!

I am eating this as I write my review! On it’s own it is very filling! I read the reviews and cut back on the veggies. I wish I hadn’t because after you cook the veggies they are half the size they were raw! I also forgot to cut back on the spices…still good though. My grocery store had precut veggies which made this recipe even easier. These are a little more expensive than buying the veggies whole but overall it is a cheap recipe! I also cooked the veggies first for about 12 minutes, took them out of the skillet then cooked the sausage. I wanted my sausage with a crisp edge and I didn’t have much room left in my skillet. I mixed them together in a large bowl when the sausagege was done then added the balsamic. I will definately be making this again!

This was quick and easy to prepare and most of all delicious. I didn’t have kielbasa on hand so substituted with turkey italian sausage.
Jerry Bridges
I personally loved this recipe! I omitted the mushrooms because I don’t like them. I used both zucchinis called for, but only used 2 super large red bell peppers because they were on sale, while the yellow ones weren’t. I served it over brown rice. I could easily eat this once a week, but the kids picked out the peppers.
Erik Cook
I made this recipe this evening with veggies from our garden. I added 1 yellow squash and 1 patty pan squash but omitted the mushrooms. This was soo good!! I love all the veggies, and the kielbasa makes you feel like you’ve eaten a hearty meal. I wouldn’t have thought the steak seasoning would add so much, but it did. I used about a half of a tablespoon and the flavor was great!
Adam Johnson
I’ve started feeding my family more turkey and chicken based recipes. This one was delicious. I cooked it exactly as it states. I will cook the sausage seperatly next time to crisp it up a bit. However, I didn’t have a smidgen leftover cooking it as is. Yummy.
Cameron Obrien
WOW! This is the best way to get an amazing flavor out of the kielbasa. I didn’t have all the vegetables listed, so I only used one red bell pepper and one onion. The balsamic vinegar is the KEY ingredient in this recipe. It is what blends it all together in a beautiful medley. Otherwise, it just tastes oily ^_^
Ross Castro
I did not care for this.
