Pan-Seared Turkey Sausage with Gnocchi and Bell Peppers

Bring a medium pot of salted water (about 1.5 liters) to a boil on the stovetop.

While waiting for the water to boil, wash and slice 1 large red bell pepper into thin strips. Peel and mince 2 garlic cloves. Slice 250g of raw turkey sausage links into 1-cm thick rounds.

Once the water is boiling, add 400g of potato gnocchi and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the gnocchi to a plate and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 250g of sliced turkey sausage and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Transfer the sausage to a clean plate.

In the same skillet, add another 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the sliced red bell pepper and cook for 3 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the minced garlic and 1 tsp of dried oregano, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the cooked gnocchi and the seared turkey sausage back into the skillet. Sauté everything together for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi gets slightly golden and crisp on the edges. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Divide the gnocchi, sausage, and peppers between two plates. Grate 20g of Parmesan cheese over the top and serve immediately.
