- In a large soup pot or high-walled pan, heat the olive oil on medium. Cook the turkey sausage until no pink remains. Add the garlic and onions and continue to cook until onions begin to soften.
- Drain off any excess liquid and stir in milk, chicken broth, pureed roasted red pepper, and pasta. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 12 minutes. If the liquid has all been absorbed, add additional milk and chicken broth as needed.
