Mom's Sausage Succotash

Submitted by CookingBlues

"Not sure if there are any okra fans out here, but I LOVE the stuff. Growing up in the South, there was always okra around when the garden started producing, and this was a favorite of mine!! This is my Mom's Sausage Succotash, made healthier with turkey sausage. I sometimes swap out veggies, like a poblano for the green pepper, but usually I add what is listed. I also make a vegetarian version I will post as well."
