Sausage and Diced Veggie Skillet
I think I told you that when the husband is away I like to play…. in the kitchen that is. :~) I had an hour, a new exotic squash and some defrosted sausage I grabbed out of the freezer last night. The toddler, for some really odd reason absolutely LOVES spicy sausage so this dish was a hit with him For me, I had to immediately pack up the extra 3 servings to stop from picking. I know what’s for lunch tomorrow! 
- 4 turkey sausage links (I used Hot Shady Brook Turkey Sausage)
- Small sweet onion diced
- 1 baking potato diced
- 1 sweet potato diced
- 1 Chayote Squash diced
- About 2 bell peppers diced (I used a green, red and yellow I had left over)
- ½ cup tomato juice
Spray a large skillet (make sure it’s big enough I actually had to transfer this after running out of room in my skillet!) with non stick cooking spray. Add the onion and sausage. I removed the skin on the sausage and treated it more like ground meat. It’s sticky but once to add it to the pan you can break it up with a spatula.
Once the sausage is brown add the diced potatoes first. They will take the longest to cook. I covered the skillet for about 10 minutes stirring and scraping the bottom about every 2 minutes (they will stick a bit, we aren’t using any oil). This cooked the potatoes just enough.
Add the diced squash and peppers. Stir and let flavors mix.
Pour the tomato juice on top and use it as a means to scrape all the good onion and potato flavor off the bottom of the pan.
Serve!
With the sausage I used I’m estimating 4 servings, each about 235 calories, 7 g of fat and just under 5 g of fiber.

That looks fabulous. I will try the Calabaza Squash. I love to suprise the family with new things. I noticed that you used non stick skillet. If it is teflon make sure to throw it away if it get any marks on it ( it can be very harmful to you and your family when cooking with teflon.
