Italian Turkey Sausage Chili Dogs - and a Giveaway!!

I was recently contacted by a representative of Jennie-O, and offered to try a few of their products (of my choice), as well as coupons to give two lucky readers!! I have been trying to incorporate more healthy products into my diet, and turkey is definitely more healthy! Jennie-O has a variety of products, so I had a bit of a dilemma choosing which ones to try first! But, I decided to try something different than just ground turkey. I purchased Hot Italian Turkey Sausages, Turkey Breakfast Sausages, and Lean Ground Turkey.

Since it was 4th of July, I decided to try a new version of chili dogs, using the Italian Sausages, and the Ground Turkey to make Turkey Chili. And, I must say...that was a pretty good idea to try! The chili and the sausage go really well together, and since these are hot sausages, there's a nice kick to it too. And you  know I like a little kick in my food!! I am definitely a fan, and will be finding other ways to use the Italian Turkey Sausage, too! There are numerous recipes on the Jennie-O website, and I found a few on there to try as well, but since this 4th of July weekend is sure to be one of grilling, I figured this should be the first one I share with you!!

And, not to forget the giveaway!! Two lucky winners will each receive $30 each in Jennie-O coupons so that they can try out their great products as well! One entry per person. Please make sure you enter a valid email address when creating your post, so that I can contact you if you win!! The winners will be contacted by email, as well as announced on the blog, and will have 5 days to reply or another winner will be selected.
