Make Every Minute Count!
The beauty of this dish is that you don’t have to have everything ready when you begin to cook your meal. Take advantage of cooking hacks by using the time between steps to prep as you go!
– Wash and chop up the sweet potatoes while the oven preheats to the suggested temperature. As a rule of thumb, 1 pound is equivalent to about 2 large or 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes.
– Arrange the sweet potatoes along with the turkey sausage on a baking sheet and pop in the oven. Make every second count by chopping the red peppers while the first ingredient batch is roasting. Use the same cutting board to minimize cleanup time – keep it there for slicing the sausage too.
– In the meantime, prep your rice so that when you pull out the tray with your tender sweet potatoes, sausage, and peppers your grains will be ready to go.
