How to Make Tortellini With Turkey Sausage In Creamy Butternut Apple Sage
- Spray a large (12-inch) skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 pound turkey sausage links; cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside. Slice sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add 10 fresh sage leaves; cook for 1-2 minutes, or until crisp. Remove sage leaves and set aside for garnish. Crumble 2 sage leaves and set aside.
- Add 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Add 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced, the 2 crumbled sage leaves, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add 1/2 cup apple juice and 1/2 cup dried cranberries to the onion mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and cube 1 medium butternut squash (about 1.5 lbs).
- Stir in the cubed butternut squash and 1 cup heavy cream into the onion mixture.
- Add the sliced turkey sausage to the skillet. Stir and reduce heat to low; simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until butternut squash is tender.
- Add 1 pound cheese tortellini (cooked according to package directions) to the sausage mixture. Add 1/4 cup pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with the reserved crisp sage leaves.
