Cooking Tip

Turkey Sausage

Substitute your favorite type of sausage, but be careful not to let the fat ruin your dish. It might be wise, if using a sausage other than turkey based to brown separately, and then add to the dish.

Squash Tips

Winter Squash

Winter squash can last months if kept in an airy location at room temperature. Purchase squash that are large in size, feel heavy for their size and are firm to the touch. The exterior will usually be a dull finish, with no blemishes.
