Step 1

Slice the smoked turkey sausage into 1/2-inch rounds.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced sausage to the pot and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the sausage and set it aside.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
