Turkey Kielbasa and Vegetable One-dish

Yesterday, we had friends over for an early Sunday dinner.  I always stress over what to make for guests, but I knew these particular friends like to eat healthfully as we do, so that was a start.  I had just picked up the kielbasa and happened have some fresh vegetables from the farmer’s market so I decided to make a single-dish meal for all of us. Thankfully, it turned out great and our guests were happy.

I really love it when I only have to dirty one pan because it means I can spend less time cleaning and more time entertaining. One important thing to note: Make sure you have a nice deep pan or even a wok to hold everything nicely without overflowing. It’s a lot of food and you really need to mix it well.

This was such a delicious, healthy meal.  I served corn on the cob on the side, but if you like you could also add canned or cut corn to the dish as I’ve done before. Either way it’s a tasty, wholesome dinner.
