Submitted to Foodista by Active Foodie

Serves 4

3 cups chicken stock
1 cup polenta
4 pieces of bacon, diced
1/2 green bell pepper
5 green onions, sliced
4 pieces of turkey sausage
1/4 cup feta
Salt
Pepper

Prepare polenta according to package directions. (Be sure to season with some salt and pepper as well!)

Meanwhile, cut bacon into small pieces and brown in a skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, on medium-high heat, until brown and crispy.

Remove the bacon and reserve for later.

Depending on your preference, you can either clean the pan and use 1 tablespoon olive oil, or you can cook the remaining veggies with a tablespoon of the bacon fat.)

Add turkey sausage and bell pepper and sauté until sausage is browned and cooked through. Add green onions, bacon, salt and pepper and sauté for 5 more minutes.

Add polenta to the meat and vegetables and stir to combine. Slowly stir in feta. Serve warm.
