Turkey Sausage Cabbage Swiss Chard Skillet is an easy skillet dinner for busy weeknights. A perfect dish to welcome fall, too.
I love making one pan dishes. Less mess and more time for other things that need to be done. Since I work full time outside the home, blog, brand ambassador and last but never least, house caretaker I need some quick meals in the lineup.
Skillet dinners can often be prepped ahead too. Chopped cabbage, chard and onions a day ahead. Place your chopped vegetables in a bowl and cover with water. Refrigerate up to two days ahead. Drain well before using. Alternatively, you can seal chopped veggies in an airtight baggie, no more than one day ahead to retain freshness.
