Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Begin by prepping all your ingredients. Cut the turkey sausage, green and red bell peppers, Walla Walla sweet onion, and white button mushrooms into large, bite-sized pieces.
  2. On each rosemary stem, alternate threading the turkey sausage, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Leave a little space between each piece.
  3. Drizzle the assembled skewers with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and all-purpose seasoning.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
  5. While the skewers are grilling, bring chicken stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the whole wheat couscous, remove from heat, and cover. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Stir in the butter, salt, chopped pecans, and fresh parsley.
  6. To serve, place a generous scoop of couscous on each plate and top with the grilled turkey sausage rosemary skewers.

Notes

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Mix and match vegetables based on what’s in season.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the turkey sausage and vegetables in oil and seasoning for 30 minutes before grilling.
