Ingredients

• 12 oz sugar-free turkey sausage
• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 red bell pepper
• 3 cups spinach
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice 2 medium zucchini and 1 red bell pepper into 1/2-inch thick half-moons, then toss with 2 tbsp avocado oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp sea salt until evenly coated.
2. Step 2: Spread vegetables on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, stirring once at 10 minutes, until edges are crispy and tender.
3. Step 3: While vegetables roast, cook 12 oz sugar-free turkey sausage in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, breaking into crumbles until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Step 4: In a large bowl, combine roasted vegetables, crumbled sausage, and 3 cups fresh spinach. Toss until spinach wilts slightly from residual heat, about 2 minutes.
