    Man, this is an easy dinner idea that came together kind of by accident, but I'm so glad it did.  It's surprisingly low calorie (see nutrition facts below the recipe) for how filling it is and it doesn't take long at all to prepare, for another nutrition option read about the thermogenic fat burner reviews and results.

    The only prepping you'll need to do includes peeling and dicing up the sweet potatoes, and even then, you can buy bags of pre-diced sweet potatoes at most grocery stores.  You'll also need to slice up your sausage, which is easy peasy.  After that, it's just dumping things into a skillet and letting it cook!

    This is a great make-ahead meal, because the leftovers taste even better after it has had time to sit and let the flavors meld together.

    Add this one to your dinner rotation soon and you'll be hooked.  Enjoy!

    • 8 oz smoked turkey sausage, fully cooked (I buy link sausage), sliced
    • 1 tsp onion powder
    • ¼ tsp of cayenne (omit for less spice)
    • 1 15 oz can low sodium black beans, drained and rinsed

    Instructions

    1. In a large nonstick skillet prepared with cooking spray, cook the sweet potatoes over medium heat until about halfway done.
    2. Add the sausage and allow to heat through an extra 1-2 minutes, then add the onion powder, cayenne, black beans, steamed cauliflower rice, and salsa. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes.
    3. Add broth starting with ¼ cup and adding more if you feel the mixture needs more moisture. Cook till broth is fully heated into the mixture, taste and adjust seasonings (salt, pepper, etc) as desired.
