And if you don't have leftover turkey, just use chicken instead. Grill or fry sausage until almost cooked through. When cooled, cut into bite-size pieces. Removed chicken after browning, browned jalepeno sausage and drained fat off then added veggies and sauteed. Didn't need hot sauce (probably b/c of jalapeno sausage); was delicious;-).
