Cook the Quinoa according to the package in one pot.  Keep the lid on it till you are ready to assemble.


While the Quinoa is cooking, remove the Turkey Sausage from the Casing and cook in 2-3 Tbsp of water with 1/2 tsp of Garlic drain off the liquid and set it aside with the lid on.

Recipe makes 4 equal Servings.  Calories: 292 per serving.


**VARIATIONS: You can add red peppers finely chopped or green peppers but, keep it simple so the veggies don't overpower the flavor that is there.  You could also add Pine Nuts for added crunch... remember whatever you add, adds calories as well, make them count!  Experiment and find your taste!** ♥ 


Here again are pictures of the Tofu Brand of Pasta that I used in this recipe.  For the actual recipe, it was Fettuccine I used.
