(Serves 4)
1 lb Italian sausage (chicken, or turkey sausage for a lighter option)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the Italian sausages and brown them evenly on all sides (about 5–7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
4. Stir in the garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
5. Add chicken broth to deglaze the pan, then return the sausages to the skillet.

7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot as a main dish or in toasted hoagie rolls for a classic sausage sandwich.
