Sausage and Red Pepper 'Keesh'

I know that I love red pepper. Sometimes I request red pepper for breakfast and Mom will cut them into little strips and put them next to a baggie so she can save what I don't eat for eating later with hummus. But she's crazy because I don't leave any left overs when it comes to eating a red pepper. So Mom thought it would be a good idea to take the red pepper and cut it up smaller and put it in a Keesh. Why would anyone do this to a perfectly good pepper?

It came out of the oven looking like this, which had promise (but she's tried to fool me before by making something look like a pie - remember this?). Eggs I like, sausage I like, and red pepper, see above.

I did eat it, but I was very busy asking why I couldn't run around in the back yard instead. I have priorities and sometimes they don't involve eating dinner. I did like it though, except for the crust, which Mom says she made a whole wheat version instead of using the traditional kind. Whatever that means. I wasn't a fan and Mom did admit it was a little overpowering on flavor. (You can find the recipe here).

The girl and I are both going through a phase where we expect people to feed us. I am doing it because I want to make sure Mom is fully committed to my upbringing. I suspect the girl is doing it because she likes doing everything I do. And I do mean everything!

Since Mom seems to want us to eat healthier (e.g. the whole wheat crust) she also used turkey sausage. I don't understand what this means. What is sausage made out of usually? I didn't notice, I stuffed my face with it and it tasted like regular sausage to me.

Anyway, the top part of this recipe is Pete approved. You can make it yourself here.
