ALL of the Comfort - NONE of the Guilt!
Bowl of comfortliciousness - yea, I just made up that word. |
Next, I covered with aluminum foil and plopped the pan into a preheated 450 degree oven. While the veggies were roasting, I lightly browned the turkey sausage on the stove top. They don't have to be cooked all the way through because they will finish cooking in the oven.
After browning, I sliced these bad boys into bite sized chunks. |
After about 45 minutes, I uncovered the veggies, dropped in the sliced sausage and added the balsamic vinegar. After a good toss, I put the tray back in the oven, uncovered, for about 15 minutes. I then tossed again and let it roast for another 10 minutes to get everything nice and browned. Like so:
Done. |
This was delicious. Perfect comfort food for a cold winter night (or HOT summer with a working AC!) or just when you crave something awesome. I have to admit my favorite part was the sweet potato with the all of the other savory flavors. SO GOOD. Next time, I won't even bother with the regular potatoes. This was also my first time cooking with fennel. It gave a wonderful aroma but had a very mellow flavor once it had cooked down. This was so easy, I'm sure I will make it again - with whatever veggies I could get my hands on!
EXTRA BONUS - this is guilt free! A big bowl of veggies + lean meat = WIN!
My belly and my mind are thanking me :)
Any other ideas for wholesome, good-for-you, comfort food recipes?
XOXO,
