Recipe - Braised Sausages With Polenta R T

2 One half tablespoon Olive Oil; Divided
1 pound Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage
2 lg Carrots; Thin Slice
1 Stalk Celery; Thin Slice
1 lg Yellow Onion; Thin Slice
1 One half teaspoon Garlic; Minced
1 cup White Wine; Or Red Wine
2 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Parsley
1 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Rosemary
2 cup Nonfat Veg Chicken Broth;
Low Sod, Or Nonfat Chicken
Broth
One fourth teaspoon Black Pepper
2 pound Potatoes; Peeled, Cut Into
1" Cubes
17 ounce Instant Polenta
1 teaspoon Salt
One half cup Whipping Cream
One half cup Lowfat Parmesan Cheese

In deep fry pan, heat 1 tsp of the oil to very hot and brown sausages as
whole links to seal juices, about 5 min. Remove sausages from pan.

To same pan add all veggies, garlic and 5 tsp olive oil; cook on medhigh
heat 5 8 min until they reduce and flavors mingle.

Cut sausages into thirds and add back into pan. Also add all the rosemary
and 1 Tbsp parsley. Add the wine and cook for 5 8 min until the
wine/liquid has reduced to a syrup consistency.

Add chicken broth, potatoes, pepper and bring to a boil, cover and reduce
to a simmer and cook for 15 min. Then remove cover and continue to cook
another 25 min.

Instant Polenta: In pot, bring water, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp olive oil to
rolling boil. Add all the Instant Polenta stirring as you add it in a
steady stream. Stir in 1 direction so that it will not lump. Stir
constantly until it thickens and pulls away from the edges of the pot. (If
you are using the cream and parmesan whip it in now.) We didn't use the
whipping cream or Parmesan cheese.

Add the last of the parsley to sausage mixture in the pan to give it color.

Add the potatoes to the sausage mixture. Keep the liquid that the potatoes
were cooked in separate so that each person can put however much they want
into their bowl.

Plate: Put polenta in bottom of each persons bowl. Put sauce over top with
some of the liquid.

Serves 6 as a main dish

This was very, very good!!
