Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Slice the turkey sausage. Cut fully cooked turkey sausage into rounds, about 1/2-inch thick.
- Prep the vegetables. Cut broccoli into medium florets, slice bell peppers, and cut red onion into wedges.
- Season everything. Add turkey sausage, broccoli, peppers, and onion to the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
- Toss well. Use a spoon or clean hands to coat everything evenly in oil and seasoning.
- Spread into one layer. Arrange the sausage and vegetables so they are not crowded. Use two sheet pans if needed.
- Roast. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping or stirring halfway through, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the sausage is browned around the edges.
- Add lemon. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the sheet pan as soon as it comes out of the oven.
- Finish and serve. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm over rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice, sweet potatoes, or salad.
Food Safety Tip: If using raw turkey sausage instead of fully cooked sausage, make sure it reaches 165°F before serving.
Roasting Tip: Cut broccoli into similar-sized florets so some edges get crispy while the stems stay tender.
