Turkey Smoked Sausage And Ravioli Bake

---

I created this one night when i had some turkey smoked sausage to use for dinner and wanted to do something creamy and comforting. I think it's important to use the turkey sausage as it is so much less grease. the regular can get very oily, so if you plan on using that, pre-cook it in a pan and drain on paper towels before you add to the sauce.

Preheat oven to 350f.

In a medium pan , place water on to boil for the ravioli.

Add these to the white sauce.
