Ground sausage

Options
I got some ground italian sausage through my local farm share, and wanted to find some healthy recipes.

Any ideas? I did come across this, which looks delicious:
Low-fat and low-calorie!

Prep: 25 minutes
Cook: 6 hours (or 2 1/2 to 3 hours)
Makes: 4 to 6 servings

1 lb uncooked ground turkey
1 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup sliced carrot
2 1/2 cups tomato juice
1 14-1/2 oz can French-cut green beans, drained
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1/2 cup chopped tomato
1 T dried minced onion
1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried basil, crushed
1 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 bay leaf

In a large skillet, cook the turkey, celery, and carrot until turkey is brown. Drain off fat.

In a 3 1/2 to 4 quart electric crockery cooker combine turkey mixture, tomato juice, green beans, mushrooms, tomato, dried minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, basil, oregano, garlic powder, sugar, black pepper, and bay leaf.

Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove and discard bay leaf.

Sandy’s Notes: Frugal tip - sub 6 oz can tomato paste and water for the 2 1/2 cups of tomato juice.
