Ingredients
- 1 lb turkey sausage links (sliced into 1‑inch rounds)
- 2 medium zucchini (thinly sliced diagonally)
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
- 1 yellow bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
- 1 red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for a crispy finish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Arrange the sliced turkey sausage on the sheet pan in a single layer and roast 12 minutes, flipping once, until lightly browned and crispy.
- While the sausage cooks, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, and onion; sauté 4‑5 minutes until just tender.
- Add the minced garlic and smoked paprika to the skillet, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in honey and sriracha, coating the veggies evenly.
- Transfer the sautéed veggies into the pan with sausage; toss to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the mixture and return to the oven for another 3‑4 minutes until the cheese melts and the edges of the sausage crisp up.
- Remove from the oven, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
Chef's Note
For extra crispiness, let the sausage rest a few minutes after roasting before adding the veggies.
Make-Ahead Tips
The sauce and seasoning can be prepared in advance; keep chicken sausage extra and warm it before adding the rest of the ingredients.
Substitutions
Use ground turkey or diced chicken thighs instead of sausage; swap sriracha for red pepper flakes if you prefer a less spicy, more smoky flavor.
