Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 oz cooked poultry sausage (e.g., chicken Cajun or smoked variety), sliced
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 large zucchini, sliced
2 cups corn kernels (from 3 cooked ears, or frozen/thawed)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook sausage: If not pre-cooked, prepare poultry sausage according to package directions until fully done, then slice.
- Prepare veggies: Dice the bell pepper and slice the zucchini. If using fresh corn, cut kernels from cob.
- Assembly: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté bell pepper and zucchini for 5-7 mins until tender-crisp. Push veggies aside, add sliced sausage to center to heat through (2-3 mins). Add corn and chili powder, stir everything together, and cook 3-4 mins more until heated through. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
Notes
- For a lower-sodium version, choose a low-sodium poultry sausage or use plain cooked chicken with your own spice blend.
- This dish is perfect for meal prep. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Feel free to substitute vegetables based on seasonality (e.g., sweet potato, broccoli, or cherry tomatoes).
