Sausage Dip

Often referred to as "heart attack on a chip" dip in my family, I have tried to lighten the ingredients somewhat to keep the heart attacks at bay since this is a favorite.

Sausage Dip

1 lb. turkey sausage (in a roll like Jimmy Dean sausage, not the links)

1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilies

1 (8 oz.) pkg. reduced fat cream cheese

1 (2 oz.) jar diced pimentos, drained

In a skillet, brown the turkey sausage over medium heat, making sure to break up the larger pieces. Drain if necessary. In a large bowl, place the cooked sausage and the remaining ingredients. Place the bowl in the microwave and cook for 1 minute to soften the cream cheese. Stir the contents to mix and then return the bowl to the microwave and cook again for 1 minute intervals, until the sausage dip is hot and everything is mixed well and incorporated. Serve the sausage dip hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or cubed french bread.
