PASTA PRIMAVERA WITH ITALIAN TURKEY SAUSAGE



Pasta Primavera With Italian Turkey Sausage image

This Primavera uses fresh veggies from your garden (or in my case, the farmer's market) and turkey sausage. The sauce is a lot lighter and more refreshing than most primavera recipes and my husband and I love to have it in the summer for a healthy pasta dish. I have also successfully used sweet italian sausage here as well. It is from allrecipes.com and states to cut the raw turkey sausage into slices. But I brown it well, then cut it and proceed with the below instructions.
