Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage Recipes

HOMEMADE ITALIAN TURKEY SAUSAGE

Pens Joyce Haworth from Des Plaines, Illinois, "When the stores in my area stopped carrying our favorite turkey sausage, I was desperate! I went to the library for some books on sausage-making...and was surprised to learn how easy it is! We use this sweet spicy sausage on pizza, in spaghetti sauce, casseroles and breakfast patties."

TURKEY SAUSAGE, PEPPER AND ONION SKILLET

Meet weeknight cooking at its best! Combining a few flavorful ingredients (Italian sausage, onions, garlic) with pantry staples (Muir Glen™ crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning) and utilizing a simple cooking technique (grab that skillet), this recipe builds flavor with every step. Here's what we mean: Onions and peppers are sautéed in the drippings left behind from cooking the sausage. Aromatic garlic and Italian seasoning get added toward the end, so they have time to bloom (open up) without getting overcooked. Acidic tomatoes help release any flavor stuck to the bottom of the pan after the other ingredients have been cooked, to the benefit of the entire dish (and the dishwasher!). So the end result is a single-dish dinner alive with richly spiced sausage, silky cooked vegetables and swimming in a tomatoey pan sauce.
