Sausage Zucchini Skillet

By srumbel

I began serving a version of this dish as a side with grilled salmon. I added sausage and rice-or noodles-to make a complete meal-in-one. -Debby Abel of Flat Rock, North Carolina

Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
• 2 large zucchini, cut into 1/2-in. pieces
• 1 large sweet onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups hot cooked brown rice

Preparation

Step 1

In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook sausage, zucchini and onion over medium-high heat 6-8 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up sausage into crumbles. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain.
Stir in tomatoes and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 4-5 minutes or until liquid is evaporated, stirring occasionally. Serve with rice. Yield: 4 servings.

"Made this last night and was it ever good. With a few additions, according to our tastes, I think the dish was improved. Partially cooked cubed potatoes, seasoning salt, toasted fennel seeds, corn, and wine flavored It up just right for up; left out the rice this time."
