What ingredients do I need to makeOne Pot Tortellini with Italian Turkey Sausage?

• Onion-diced. You can use yellow or white onion.
• Garlic-minced
• Italian turkey or chicken sausage– I like to use either Jennie-O Italian turkey sausage or Isernio’s chicken sausage
• Crushed tomatoes– canned, not drained
• Refrigerated or frozen tortellini-Walmart brand “Great Value” cheese tortellini
• Fat free half & half-adds creaminess to this dish. If you wanted you could use 1/4 cup non fat plain Greek yogurt mixed with 1 Tbsp milk of your choice, as an alternative for the fat free half & half.

• Grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley or basil for garnish

How do I make this One Pot Tortellini with Italian Turkey Sausage?

Spray a large skillet or Dutch oven with non stick cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until hot. Add onion, and continue cooking for 1 minute.

Add garlic and stir for another 2 minutes.

 
Add Italian turkey or chicken sausage. Stir and crumble the sausage into bite size pieces.

Continue cooking until sausage is browned.

Drain the fat and leave the sausage in the pan.

Stir in crushed tomatoes and tortellini and bring to a simmer. 
Cover and simmer until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Turn off heat and stir in fat free half and half and torn spinach.

Let it sit for 3-5 minutes to allow the spinach to wilt and the sauce to thicken.
