Quick, easy and delicious! Game-changer was finding pre-cooked turkey sausage crumbles. Thanks for the recipe!
Do you saute the bell pepper with the zucchini & onion or does it get mixed in after everything else has been cooked?
Thanks for catching that, Rosie! We sauté the bell pepper with the onion and zucchini. The instructions have been updated :)
