I made this using hot pork breakfast sausage and it disappeared! Great.

The only thing I would add to this recipe is to line your baking dish with crescent rolls. Makes it even more delicious, but great as is.

This was very delicious. I prepared it for dinner with cinnamon bagels on the side. My husband particularly loved the Turkey sausage. It looked like way too much liquid, but turned out perfect!
