I began serving a version of this dish as a side with grilled salmon. I added sausage and rice-or noodles-to make a complete meal-in-one. -Debby Abel of Flat Rock, North Carolina

I use hot Italian Turkey Sausage, Italian diced tomatoes, extra garlic, and add some Italian seasoning to make the skillet more intensely flavored. Delicious.

Excellent! I used hot turkey sausage and added the extra link. Served over Orzo as another reviewer suggested. I decreased the serving size to 1 cup. Very yummy!

Reviewed on Mar. 07, 2010 by Kimber1

This recipe is fantastic. The only change I've made is to add a can of Rotel tomatoes. I serve it over orzo for something a little different.

Wow! What a winner! I used 2 lb. of turkey sausage and an extra can of tomatoes, then thickened it with a little cornstarch and water. What a wonderful dish. I will be fixing it AGAIN tonight!

Very good -- Make sure you get turkey sausage -- otherwise, the calorie count is a lot higher!!! Will make again.
