Quick, easy, and veggie-filled stir-fry perfect for lunch or dinner
Who wants to talk about veggies?
Me me!!
I always want to talk about veggies. Always. In fact, I am doing a weekly series on eating Veggies All Year.
I’ve been learning so much about so many different types of veggies; however, there’s one little thing that I’ve noticed about doing this… I have a surplus of veggies in my apartment.
I buy big bags of each veggie because who wants to look at pictures of one onion? Um, no one. That’d be so weird!
Either way, I have a lot of veggies in my apartment, but I obviously do not deem this a problem. Not even a little bit of a problem. Except when I feel like they’re going bad. I will not waste veggies! That’d be such a crime!
So how do I prevent veggie waste? I make stir-fry. Needless to say, I’ve been making all kinds of stir-fry lately, many of which are not blog post worthy. However, this sausage stir-fry has been one of my easiest and tastiest to date.
The sausage gives so much flavor that you don’t really even need anything other than veggies and a touch of salt to add flavor. The key is to pick good sausage. I love red pepper and spinach chicken sausage. It’s a staple in my fridge/freezer.
Other than that, the world this recipe is you oyster. I used spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions here but you can change it up as much or as little as you want.
Did I mention that this is super quick, especially if you have the veggies chopped before hand? It’s a weeknight dream dinner or a quick lunch luxury.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. sausage, sliced
- 2 bell peppers, diced
- 2 onions, diced
- 8 oz. mushrooms, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 cups chopped fresh spinach
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage, and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer to sausage to paper towels.
- Add bell peppers and onions the skillet and sauté for 10 minutes until lightly browned. Stir in mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms release their juices, about 7 minutes. Add in garlic and spinach and cook until spinach reduces, about 3 minutes. Add in reserved sausage and cook for 5 minutes until warmed through. Enjoy!

This is great for a low carb meal! It seems like it would be really filling, even without rice or pasta. I love how it’s really inexpensive and a great way to use up veggies.
