Outstanding recipe! Few ingredients, healthy, very flavorful! Anyone would love this, but would be especially perfect if you have a lot of tomatoes or are on a low carb diet.

This was delicious! I used regular ground Italian sausage instead of the turkey sausage. I will definitely be making this again. The kids even liked it. If you are looking to use up your tomatoes this summer, this is a great way to do that. Thank you for this recipe. (FYI...I used a grapefruit spoon to take the pulp out of the tomatoes.)
