One of my favorites is Butterball Turkey Dinner Sausage which I used in this Cheesy Grits Casserole. It comes in different flavors including a spicy one and a kielbasa. And there are probably a million quick and easy meals you can cook with this flavorful, but lean sausage. Try it in jambalaya or gumbo. It’s also great with pasta or in macaroni and cheese.
