My family really enjoys this meal. Cubed leftover turkey may be substituted for sausage. Just add to the skillet with the cooked pasta for a fast meal. —Katie Wollgast, Florissant, Missouri

Test Kitchen Tips
  • Sneak in some greens by tossing a handful or two of baby spinach into the skillet just before serving. The residual heat will wilt your greens in a minute or two.
  • Canned pumpkin is delicious, and it's packed with fiber and vitamins. Try mixing some into your next batch of chili.
