Turkey Sausage With Broccoli

I had to make something for a luncheon at work. I needed to feed a crowd and I was sooo busy that week that I needed something easy. So here it is. I did this in two days only because I didn't have enough time in one day. It is easy and quite delicious. This got great raves! It's a good party dish. Measurements might be a tad off. I'm the type of cook that just throws in.

• Ready In: 35 mins

Ingredients

• 1  cup white wine
• 3  tablespoons sweet butter (can use margarine)
