This quick sausage and veggie skillet gets a gold star because it takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and is made in a single skillet. It’s a flexible recipe that works with nearly any combination of vegetables you have on hand. So if you’ve got extra veggies hanging out in your produce drawer, throw them into this smoked sausage skillet. Pre-cooked sausage such as chicken sausage, turkey sausage, or kielbasa shortens the cook time and keeps the recipe fast and simple. Everything is seasoned to perfection with Italian seasoning, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and a bit of lemon juice. You don’t need much to make a great tasting dinner and I’m always a fan of recipes that call for spices I always have on hand in my pantry. This smoked sausage and vegetable skillet is one of those fantastic meals that’s on the leaner side, but doesn’t taste like it! All of those colors, textures, and great flavors make this a one-skillet dinner recipe you’ll look forward to eating over and over again! It’s perfect for busy weeknights when you need to get dinner on the table in a hurry.

How to Make Sausage and Veggies Skillet
This is a simple recipe that comes together in no time! Follow these basic instructions: Enjoy the sausage and vegetables as is, or pair it with a simple green salad for some freshness. You can also stretch the recipe by serving it over rice, cauliflower rice, or orzo. I also have a Sheet Pan Turkey Sausage and Vegetables recipe, too. Very similar but the proteins are slightly different. Optionally, a bit of grated Parmesan cheese over top for gives an extra bit of salty, cheesy flavor.
