This easy to prepare one-pot meal is super hearty and fully of rich flavors. The traditional pairing of sausage and peppers gets a stew-like quality when red skinned potatoes are added. The simple tomato sauce rounds the dish out and brings the saucy effect. The full meal is ready to serve in just under and hour making it ideal for a weeknight dinner. The six generous servings make it a strong contender for weekend meals when guests are included. Toss a quick mixed green salad to add some fresh crunch to the meal. Substitute some soy sausage patties for the turkey sausage to create a meatless feast even the pickiest eaters will enjoy.

Instructions
1
Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set side.

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the same skillet, then add the green and red bell peppers, the onion, and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peppers and onion begin to soften, about 8 minutes.
