    You mention sausage in the directions but not in the ingredients. - 10/28/08

    Good catch. I omitted the sausage, but copy and pasted the recipe and forgot to delete it. You could easily add a lower fat sausage (spicy turkey sausage would be great), but of course that would alter the nutritional content. Sorry about that. I created the recipe primarily for my information.
