Here’s a great easy dinner recipe, especially if you are looking for tasty sausage recipes for dinner.
Sausage, peppers, onions and potatoes roasted in the oven. This was one of my favorite suppers when I was growing up. My mom was making sheet pan suppers years before they were a thing!
I’ve also included an equally delicious variation that adds pieces of chicken and crushed tomatoes to the mix. Both versions are personal favorites of mine.
Recipe Notes
Mom used to make this great easy baked sausage recipe for dinner regularly. She learned to make it by watching her Italian-American sister-in-law prepare it back in the early 1960s, so it’s an easy recipe that has stood the test of time in our family.
I still enjoy this dish as much as when I was a kid.
While Mom always made it with Italian sausage made from pork, I often use Italian chicken or turkey sausage instead.
When it comes to making easy dinners you can’t beat the oven, which allows you to make hearty home cooked meals with minimal effort. And isn’t that what simple cooking day to day is all about?
Once the mixture of chunks of Italian sausage, onion, pepper and potato (and optional chicken and tomato) are tossed together in a pan with olive oil and seasonings and placed in the oven, you are free to relax, catch up with yourself or leisurely make a salad until dinner’s ready. Now, how easy is that?

Sheet Pan Sausage, Peppers, Onions and Potatoes in the Oven
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian turkey sausage, hot, sweet, or mixed, each cut crosswise into 3 chunks
- 2 large baking potatoes, peeled and each cut into 8 pieces
- 2 large bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch strips
- 2 medium onions, each cut into 8 wedges
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450F degrees. For easy cleanup line a large roasting pan (large enough to comfortably fit all the ingredients in a single layer) with aluminum foil. (I like to use a half sheet pan.)
- Place the sausage, potatoes, peppers, onions and garlic (if using) in the pan.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the ingredients. Season with the oregano, salt and pepper. Toss to coat everything with the oil and seasonings.
- Roast in the oven until the potatoes are tender and the sausage is browned, 45 to 60 minutes, stirring the mixture every 20 minutes or so.

Hi!
I take it you leave the casings on the Italian turkey sausage?
Yes, we leave the casings on! ~Martha
Love this recipe! Great for a group or sandwiches with leftovers!
Is this raw sausage or precooked? Sorry I’m a beginner.
Uncooked sausage.
Yes my childhood as well.
I made it tonight for tomorrow. Always so much better after chilled & reheat.
It’s delicious with eggs and turn left overs without the peppers into soup with chicken broth add some Kale.
Oh mom always added sweet potatoes too so that is what I do that really makes a nice contrast with the peppers & sausage and Publix makes a soup like that too.
Delicious!!! Making it for the second time. Thank you ?
So glad you liked in Linda. This has to be one of my all time favorites from childhood!
I love this I add spaghetti sauce to bring it more bang so they will stick to there stomach with Italian bread.
Mmmm.. It looks so good !! Im gonna make this for dinner tonight .My husband is italian and he’ll love this recipe !!
=) THANKS so much for sharing……
I made this and it was very easy and tasty. The question I had was the temp of the oven. It says 450 degrees in the recipe. I only cooked it at 425 degrees and it was way overcooked. I think next time I will try 375 degrees.
Thanks, Ellen. I’ll be sure to note this. Everyone’s ovens are different, so this is something important to keep in mind.
