Italian Turkey Sausage and Vegetables is a meal in a bowl. I love crock pot meals and this is a great one. The pot is full of vegetables that you can interchange to your taste.
I love meals where I can toss everything into the slow cooker and run out the door knowing dinner will be ready when I get home. This dish is full of vegetables but the freshness of a salad really brings this meal together. I prefer spicy sausage in this dish versus mild italian sausage. Give it a chance, you won’t be disappointed!
