I love Italian sausage but let's face it, it is pretty calorie dense. This recipe is a delicious alternative that also freezes well. I bulk cook as much as possible and this one is great to have on hand when you are short on time. Add it to spaghetti, lasagna, soup, pizza and more.
2 Lb. 93/7 Ground Turkey
2 Tsp. Dried Parsley
2 Tsp. Dried Italian Seasoning
1.5 Tsp. Ground Black Pepper
1/2 Tsp. Fennel Seed
1/2 Tsp. Paprika
2 Tsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Minced Garlic
1 Tsp. Onion powder
Mix all the spices together as well as the garlic. Add to the meat either in a large bowl or straight in the pan you plan to cook in.
Cook on the stove top in a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and break up the meat mixture as you go along.
Cook until no longer pink, use a desires or let cool completely and freeze for up to 3 months.

At least once a week we eat Pizza or a variation of it. This recipe is easy and delicious. I like to pair it with a salad and some pizza sauce for dipping.
12- Ounce Package of Chicken Sausage
1 Bell Pepper (Any Color)
8-ounce Package of Mushrooms
1 Package of Grape Tomatoes
1 Red Onion
Use any vegetables you like. Zucchini is a great addition to this recipe
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
1/2-1 Tbsp Sweetener of choice (I use Stevia)
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese
14- Ounces Low Sugar Pizza Sauce
As an alternative to making your own, use 1/2 cup of store bought dressing
Heat your grill over medium heat. Meanwhile, cut the sausage and vegetables into bite size pieces. Thread meat and veggies alternately on skewers.
To make the dressing, put everything in a jar, pop the lid on it and shake well. Or whisk everything together in a bowl. Brush the kabobs with the dressing before putting them on the grill.
Grill the kabobs over medium heat for about 5 minutes then turn the kabobs and brush them with the rest of the dressing. Grill an additional 5 minutes or so or until meat and veggies are done to your preference. Pull from the grill and sprinkle immediately with the Parmesan cheese.
You can also roast these in the oven at 450 degrees on a lined baking sheet. Cook in a preheated oven for about 8 minutes on each side or to your liking.
If you would like you can substitute chicken breast for the sausage. If you choose this method marinade the chicken (cut into 1 inch chunks) in some of the dressing for an hour before cooking.
