“Oh my gosh, that looks awesome. I’m not even kidding.”
That from my 11-year-old as he gazed upon this dish waiting its turn in the oven, soon to become Roasted Turkey Sausage with Potatoes, Peppers, and Onions. And a family favorite recipe!
I’m a huge fan of Italian sausage flavors, and I use the leaner turkey version frequently in a quick stove-top sausage-n-pepper thing that the whole family adores. When my girl, Shirl, mentioned she does a similar version, but in the oven and with potatoes, I went on a search. Turns out there are a gazillion versions of “roasted sausage, potatoes, and peppers” recipes out there. Evidently it’s an Italian staple, and I’m the last to know.
I decided to go with this recipe because I adore both mustard and Parmesan. I thought they might work well with the combo of veggies and sausage.
I love it when I’m right.
What makes this so great? It smells like heaven and is packed with zing and flavor. It’s a bowlful of potatoes, veggies, and meat and is all you need to fill up. One-stop eating at it’s best! Feel free to make a salad to go along with it if want, but you could just park yourself in the La-Z-Boy while it’s cooking, enjoy the heavenly aroma, and catch up with yourself 🙂
We (and by “we” I mean me and all the boys) gobbled this up. The 13 and a half year old had seconds and thirds, while his brother groaned in satisfaction at every bite. I don’t need any better endorsement than that! Pay no attention to the dissenting 7-year-old, who thinks even sweet Italian sausage are too spicy. Clearly, she can not be trusted.
Roasted Turkey Sausage with Potatoes, Peppers, and Onions
Serves 6
Adapted from Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice
Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: ~45 minutes
2) In a bottom of a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mustard, garlic, Parmesan, spices, salt and pepper. Add the potatoes, onions, and peppers and use a spatula to combine until all pieces are well-coated. Carefully fold in the sausage chunks.
3) Layer the mixture on a baking tray large enough to hold it in a single layer. (I used a cookie sheet with sides). Cook for about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Potatoes will be browned and veggies will be softened.

Hi Julia,
I make this same dish with vinegar peppers and add a bit of the juice. It comes out awesome.
Julia Robarts says
Sounds good to me. I haven’t been able to get my family on board with vinegar peppers!

I made this tonight except I used chicken sausages and I added a sweet potato. No leftovers but I think I ate most of the veggies (they eat the white potatoes) :-/ Wish my family wasn’t so particular!!!
Julia Robarts says
Wonderful! I think it’s especially good with sweet potatoes.
