Sausage and Peppers

2 Pkgs of Turkey Kielbasa
1 Red Pepper
1 Yellow Pepper
1 Green Pepper
1/4 - 1/2 Onion
Olive Oil
1 pkg of bow tie noodles
Parmesan cheese

Cut up turkey in 1/2 inch thick pieces. Combine sausage and olive oil (I don't know measurements on olive oil I just guess) and saute till brown.

Slice up peppers and onions. Add peppers, onions and a bit more olive oil. Put lid on pan, and cook till veggies are steamed and caramelized.

Serve over bowtie noodles and top with parmesan cheese.

This is something that makes great left overs!!! Sorry don't really know measurements. Just wing it like I do...works every time!

To make the dipping sauce:
(As with most of my recipes I have no idea what the measurements are I guess and do a lot of taste tests. Sorry but you will have to make sauce with no measurements.)
