New dish I made up!
I love when I don’t really know what I am going to make and it turns out so great! I will definitely make this again.
I frequently buy Jennie-O Turkey Kielbasa
I like using turkey kielbasa because it’s low in calories, I can add it to soups, stews, stir fry’s, etc…
I wasn’t exactly sure what the outcome of this dish would be when I started – I just kind of kept getting ideas and going from there!
I started by slicing up the turkey kielbasa into rounds, and placing those in a skillet. In a separate pot, I cooked a package of orzo. I forgot how much I love orzo!
Once the sausage was starting to brown, I checked to see what veggies I had. I had baby bell peppers and onions, so I chopped up 4 baby peppers and a small onion and added that to the pan.
Once the orzo was cooked – I drained it and returned it to the pot.
My idea was everyone could take a bowl, add some orzo and put some of the cooked peppers, onions and turkey kielbasa on top.
Then I thought I wanted to add something more and I had a bag of mixed greens, so I added that, and diced up some mozzarella cheese and added a few tablespoons of Paul Newman’s Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette salad dressing.
Ingredients
- 1 package Jennie-O turkey kielbasa
- 8 oz. uncooked orzo
- 1 bag mixed greens
- baby bell peppers (about 4-5)
- 1 small white onion, diced
- Paul Newman's Lite Balsamic Salad Dressing
- diced mozzarella (optional)
Instructions
- The idea is to use one skillet to cook the kielbasa and peppers and onions, and one pot to cook the orzo.
- Then everyone can customize their bowls as they like. I started with orzo, topped with the veggies and kielbasa, add the mozzarella and salad dressing and just stir to incorporate all the ingredients
You may have leftover orzo – I did, which I will find some place to incorporate it. I may add it to some soup I am making soon!
