Looking for good, easy recipes since hubby had a stroke and we had to change our diet. I modified this using what I had on hand. I used one turkey Italian sausage, ground it after cooking, added to 1/2 pound of cooked turkey breakfast sausage. Then I used mixed veggies instead of baby carrots and put in a regular size pie crust. Absolutely delish and so easy to put together.

I am in the process of finding new recipes because my husband's cholesterol is up. Unfortunately, the doctor told us that the max saturated fat a "healthy" person should have per day is 10g and someone whi is trying to reduce their cholesterol should limit it to 7-8g sat. fat and no more that 200mg of cholesterol a day. The recipe was yummy, but the pie crust and the meat alone sent it WAY over what a "healthy" person should have. I may try to figure out a better way to do this. Thanks for sharing. Maybe a jumping off point...

This was so easy to make ! I used 1//2 lb fresh turkey sausage with jalapenos and left out the hot sauce. As I didn't have cornstarch, I used 1 1/2tbl spoon of flour. And I added a top crust which added 15 min to the baking time. My husband, myself, and my neighbors loved it!! I will be making this again. Thanks so much for an easy versatile recipe.
