There's been an increased amount of talk regarding the paleo diet lately which has me looking into the amount of carbohydrates in my meals.  I am obsessive-compulsive by nature so what I really need is something else to obsess about.

While this recipe contains dairy in the form of cheese, I think it would be considered a much better meal than if I had a little bit of pasta or rice to go along with it.  Feel free to add it; you're probably much more of a normal person than I am. :)  Regardless of what you add, this dish was very tasty on its own.



Sausage and Veggies

- one package of Jennie-O spicy turkey sausage
- two red bell peppers, chopped thick
- one purple onion, chopped thick
- four heads of broccoli, sliced thick
- four crimini mushrooms, sliced
- three garlic cloves, diced
- two cans of diced tomatoes, drained
- one tbsp Italian seasoning
- one tsp dried basil
- two tbsp olive oil
- parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

In a stockpot, cook turkey in one tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat until no longer pink and juices run clear.  Drain and set aside.

In a stockpot, sauté bell peppers, onion, and broccoli in one tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat for 6 minutes.  Add mushrooms, garlic, Italian seasoning and basil; continue to cook for one minute.  Add tomatoes, bring to a simmer and continue cooking for 8 minutes.  Add sausage and continue to cook for two minutes.
