Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider substituting turkey sausage for the pork sausage. You can also use fresh snow peas instead of frozen for a crunchier texture. If you don't have beef bouillon, vegetable broth works well. To save time, prep ingredients ahead and store them in the fridge until you're ready to cook. This recipe can also easily be adapted with other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots.
