Indian spiced turkey sausage rice meal
A message popped up in my Instagram inbox from the wonderful team of Ballyfree that they wanted to send me some of their goodies to try. I was delighted :) I have been using their sausages, rashers and eggs for more than a year now. They are one of the brands I trust and I would fully recommend them also feed my family with. Their turkey sausage is my little boys favorite. Each turkey sausage has just 70 calories ;)
With so many sausages I wanted to also try them in some recipe, so came up with the idea of using them in a one pan meal with Indian spices and it turned out absolutely delicious. So easy to put together, hassle free, one pan so less cleaning after :)
Few vegetables, and couple of Indian spices you have an meal that you will enjoy. Serve with some simple fresh salad and some starter you have a meal to impress any one.
You can customize it the way you like depending on what vegetables you have. Make it more spicy by adding more chili powder, or even fresh green chili chopped.
