Ingredients:

Serving

1 package (19-1/2 oz) italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
1/2 cup chopped red onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
2-1/2 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 cans (15 oz each) crushed tomatoes
2 tbsp prepared pesto
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp pepper
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup cornmeal
shaved parmesan cheese , optional

Directions:

In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in broccoli. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 5-7 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
Stir in the tomatoes, pesto, pepper flakes and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, for polenta, bring broth to a boil in a small heavy saucepan. Reduce heat to a gentle boil; slowly whisk in cornmeal. Continue stirring for 10-12 minutes or until polenta is thickened and has a smooth texture. Serve with sausage mixture. Garnish with cheese if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
