Meal Prep Sausage & Veggies! This protein and veggie packed meal is made EASY on a sheet pan and divided into meal prep containers for any meal. Eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Pair with a side quinoa or cauliflower rice for low carb.
If there's anything I've learned about cooking and meal prepping from my 80 pound weight loss, it's to shameless take shortcuts. Yes, you heard me right! The nutritionist in me is telling you to take shortcuts.
Not everything you do has to be 100% perfect all the time when it comes to meal prepping. One of my biggest hacks is buying frozen veggies when you are healthy meal planning.
I stash them in the freezer for when I'm too lazy to chop and prep fresh produce, and I use them to meal prep too! Admittedly I don't love frozen veggies as much as the real deal but hey, life is busy and I'm a firm believer that you have to be practical when it comes to food.
If you want to eat healthy and lose weight, be shameless and look for ways to make it as easy as possible. You're more likely to stay on track with your new habits forever versus one or two weeks when you figure out ways to make it fit into your lifestyle rather than trying to rearrange your entire life around it. It's not a baby, it's just food.
Okay, so I really did just compare meal prepping to a baby. But hopefully, you get what I mean. There's nothing wrong with buying frozen vegetables. Watch the video to hear my tips for what to look for and watch out for when buying them.
For this Meal Prep Sausage & Veggies recipe, I used stir-fry veggies then added my secret seasoning mix to them. I guess it's not so secret though because I have it in the recipe card. If you don't like or can't find stir-fry veggies, it's perfectly fine to substitute with your favorite green veggie mix.
For the sausage, I used turkey sausage from Jennie-O. Again, feel free to substitute with what you like or can find. The point of this meal is to give you a high protein, high vegetable meal! I paired my meal prep sausage and veggies with quinoa.
One of my favorite higher protein carbs! For my Paleo eaters, you can sub with cauliflower rice or just eat the sausage and veggies as is. It's delicious with Sriracha on top! Now listen up for the most important part!
You can eat this Meal Prep Sausage & Veggies for any meal. Yes, I said any! Lunch, dinner, or even breakfast. I love this meal mostly for breakfast though. I like topping mine with eggs, but if you're sick of eggs it's a great way to change things up and get out of a rut.
Eat meal prep sausage and veggies for breakfast and eggs for dinner. Your body will feel amazing from the switch up. Guaranteed!

Nutrition
How did you configure the calories? When I put this into my fitness pal it gives me a much bigger number. What kind of sausage did you use?
Jennie-O turkey sausage 98% lean. I haven't seen it in the store in a long time. It has 630 calories for the entire package and the sausage is in a long circle in the package.
What is the actual serving size? A cup, 1/2 cup, and ounce? The nutritional info says per "1G" if I convert a gram to a tablespoon that is 0.06666666666666667.
I'm not sure why it says 1G. That is something my website developer needs to change. The nutritional info is based on the serving size which is 4 servings. You divide the ingredients into 4 meal prep containers. I don't measure it exactly. I'm guessing it's 1/4 cup quinoa and 1 1/4 cup of the sausage & veggies.
Hey this sounds aWeSoMe! I’m going to take your advice and rely more on frozen veggies to get my vegetable intake up! Maybe roasting them like this will be more delicious than steaming in the bag...anyway, my question is this—325 is the right temp? I think I have a tendency to overlook everything to make sure it’s really done, so this didn’t seem like a high enough temp/long enough cooking time. Is it really that easy? Thanks! Can’t wait to have this with an egg on top!
Frozen vegetables are softer than fresh produce so they don't need to be cooked at a very high temperature, unless you like them that way. It's up to you how high of a temp you want to use. You don't want to go too high though because most sausages are already pre-cooked. If you go higher, you might want to cook for less time.
