Step-by-Step Instructions for Mediterranean Tortellini Salad
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the frozen cheese tortellini and stir gently. Cook according to package instructions until they are al dente, typically around 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of cooking spray over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked turkey sausage and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Transfer the sausage to a large mixing bowl to cool.
- In the bowl with the cooled sausage, add the drained tortellini. Pour in the prepared pesto and gently stir to coat evenly.
- Add the fresh baby spinach, sliced mushrooms, cannellini beans, and roasted red peppers to the bowl. Toss together gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Fold in the crumbled feta cheese and pitted Greek olives. Carefully mix again to combine.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to serve chilled.
