Instructions
- 1
Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the turkey sausage and cook, breaking it into rough crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through to 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 7–8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
