TURKEY SAUSAGE WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Turkey Sausage with Root Vegetables image

I had a delicious stew recipe but rarely prepared it because sausage can be high in fat and sodium, so I substituted low-fat turkey sausage. Now it not only tastes good, it feels good-both hearty and healthy! -Lisa Zeigler-Day of Forest Park, Illinois
