Seasoned canned tomatoes and Italian turkey sausage add instant life to chili. Try tomatoes with different seasonings to vary the flavor of your recipe. If you really like your chili spicy, use two cans of diced tomatoes with chiles, or canned, diced fire-roasted tomatoes. Italian turkey sausage also comes in different flavors such as mild, sweet, medium, and hot. Raw Italian turkey sausage is typically found in links. Four links are usually about 1 pound. Ten quick minutes of work in the morning and you can bring your family home to this hearty and warming meal. Serve with a crispy fresh arugula salad with some cut veggies and a simple vinaigrette, amplifying the vegetable profile of the entire meal.
