Sausage and Pepper Subs

12 oz. turkey sausages

1/3 cup reduced sodium, fat free chicken stock

2 tbsp. olive oil

1 large onion, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 1/2 tsp. minced fresh oregano (optional)

1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

4 sub rolls, split lengthwise and warmed

Brown the sausages in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the chicken stock and cook, covered, for 10 minutes.

Remove the sausages to a plate.  Pour off all but 1 - 2 tbsp. of the liquid in the pan.  Add the olive oil, onion and garlic.  Cook, stirring, until softened, about 6 - 7 minutes.  Add the sliced bell peppers, oregano (if using), salt and pepper.

Cook until the peppers are softened, about 5 minutes.  Return the sausages to the pan and cook for 3 minutes.  Stir in the balsamic vinegar (if using).

Adjust the seasonings and spoon the mixture into the warmed sub rolls.  Gently press the sandwiches together and serve warm.
