Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian turkey sausage, removed from casing
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 1/3 cups crushed tomatoes, Tutorosso
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
- 6 whole wheat 100 calorie potato rolls
- 6 slices reduced fat provolone, Sargento
- 1 cup baby spinach
Directions
- Set a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the sausage. Cook it, crumbling it into small pieces as you go, until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the onions and garlic and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Move the sausage mixture into the slow cooker, then stir in the bell peppers, crushed tomatoes, rosemary and fresh cracked pepper. Put the lid on and cook on low for 4 hours.
- When you’re ready to serve, spoon a heaping 1/2 cup of the meat mixture onto each roll. Add cheese and baby spinach on top, if you’d like.
