Smoked Turkey Sausage Pasta & Veggies

In effort to incorporate more healthy choices in my diet, I purchased some Smoked Turkey Sausage.  I don't recall what I had in mind when I purchased it at the grocery. However, a quick check of the veggie drawer and pantry resulted in this quick and tasty supper.  I used red and green bell peppers because that is what I had handy, but I think this would work equally as well with yellow squash, zucchini, broccoli florets or asparagus.

Smoked Turkey Sausage, Pasta & Veggies

1 14-oz. package Butterball Smoked Turkey Sausage
1 green bell pepper, seeded, and thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

  1. In a medium pan, bring water to a boil.  Add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta.
  2. Cook pasta until al dente, about 10 minutes.
  3. While spaghetti is cooking, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  5. Brown sausage and remove from the pan.
