- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Start by slicing the red onion and both bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the turkey sausage links and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Step 4
Slice the cooked sausages in half lengthwise and return them to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Step 5
Slice the whole grain sandwich rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.
Step 6
Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each roll. Layer with a handful of arugula, followed by the sausage and vegetable mixture.
Step 7
Top with the other half of the roll and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy classic sausage sandwich!
