If sausage are fully cooked, sear your sausage on all sides in a large skillet, about 8 minutes.
(If your sausage is raw, you'll need to boil it for about 20 minutes before browning in the skillet or on your outdoor grill.)
Then set sausage aside on a plate.
16 ounces of gluten free sweet Italian sausage

Slice peppers and onion. Add oil to the large skillet.
Cook peppers, first, over a medium heat, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently. Add onion, garlic and thyme and continue cooking, another 5 minutes. Remove peppers and onions to the plate.
1 green bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper, 1 orange bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, 1 large onion, 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 teaspoon thyme

Add wine over medium heat to the same pan. Stir for about a minute scraping up the brown bits as some of the alcohol evaporates.
1/2 cup white wine

Return vegetables and sausages along with any juices to the pan, stir to coat with wine sauce until heated through about 3 more minutes.
Serve with a crisp green salad. Or if you're not low carb, serve with crusty garlic bread, your favorite gluten free pasta, rice, or as a topping for sandwiches on Against the Grain rolls.
