I rely on my slow cooker to prepare this chili-like specialty. It's packed with turkey sausage, pasta and vegetables. My gang gobbles it up without realizing they're eating healthy. —Sarah Bowen of Upland, California

This is a keeper. Everyone loved it. I did add italian seasoning and some crushed red pepper to spice things up a little. Will definately make again.

I also wanted to say a teaspoon of chili powder is great in this!

I have made this 5 times already! It is one of my favorites and I try to keep all the ingredients on hand for this one. Thanks-a keeper!No variations except for I add zucchini and red wine for some of the water. I add fresh minced parsley in with the peas and sprinkle each serving with mozzarella/ cheddar blend. Serve with garlic toast.Prego heart smart pasta sauce works great in this!

That was really good!! I did not add the 1/2 teaspoon salt because of our family diet but it was still good regardless. Thanks, will definitely use again!!
