Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¼ cups chicken broth
½ cup Italian polenta
¼ cup fat-free half-and-half
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
4 Italian turkey sausage links
12 ounces marinara sauce
1 medium onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 tablespoon butter
½ teaspoon garlic salt
1 pinch crushed red pepper
½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Combine chicken broth, polenta, and half-and-half in a medium-sized heat-resistant glass bowl, such as Pyrex®. Set aside.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Pour in grapeseed oil and allow to get hot. Add sausages and cook until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Pour in marinara sauce, onion, and bell pepper; mix to combine. Place a trivet into the pot and set the bowl of polenta on top of the trivet. Close and lock the lid.
  • Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Whisk butter, garlic salt, red pepper, and Parmesan cheese into the polenta. Serve immediately.

This recipe was a waste of time. The polenta was dry and the sausage was overcooked.

I followed the recipe exactly and the polenta turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more seasoning to the sausage and sauce.

Amazing recipe! The sausage and polenta were cooked to perfection in my Instant Pot. I added some extra vegetables, like chopped bell pepper and zucchini, and it turned out even better. Thanks for sharing!
