Sausage & Squash Grits

Well it is almost time to go to the grocery store and I know better than to go hungry so I need to make lunch with what I have on hand. In this case it is a summer squash/zucchini, turkey sausage bratwurst, onion and grits. This is a great quick meal that you could make as written or substitute the grits with an egg cracked over the sausage & veggie mix and then quickly scrambling it to make a wonderful omelet like egg dish, or served over rice or mashed potatoes.

Sausage & Squash Grits: Serves 2

2 Turkey Sausage Bratwurst
1 Small Onion Chopped
1 Small Zucchini/Summer Squash Chopped
1/2C Grits
2C Water
4tsp Butter
Salt & Pepper

Remove the sausage from its casing and brown in a saute pan. Once it has been cooked remove it to the side and add in 2tsp of butter, the onion and the zucchini with some salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are translucent and the squash is cooked through. Add the sausage back to reheat and toss together for another minute.

While the above is cooking set the water to boil in a small sauce pot. Once it is boiling add the grits stirring constantly until incorporated. Turn the heat down to low and add some salt & pepper, continue stirring occasionally while the grits thicken. Once they have absorbed the water add in the remaining 2tsp of butter and stir to melt.

Serve the sausage mixture over the grits and enjoy.
