1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high
heat. Add sausages and brown on all sides, turning
frequently, 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat remaining 2
tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium-low
heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally 5 to 6
minutes, until soft. Add thyme and garlic and cook 1
minute more. Stir in bell pepper and cook 10 minutes,
stirring occasionally, until peppers just begin to soften.
Remove from heat and set aside. Add onion and pepper
mixture to sausages; add parsley and salt and pepper to
taste. Cook 10 minutes more, for flavors to blend.
Need a fast fix for a weeknight dinner? Heres one that can be
whipped up in a flash you may already have most of the
ingredients on hand. Note: since chicken sausage is higher in
carbs than chicken thighs, substitute the latter if you are on
Phase 2.
