Sausage Won Tons
Ingredients
1/2 pound hot Italian Sausage
1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
1/4 cup finely chopped water chestnuts
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or 2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
1/3 cup chicken broth

1. In a nonstick skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in carrot and water chestnuts. In a bowl, combine cornstarch and ginger. Stir in the broth, sherry or additional broth and soy sauce until smooth. Stir into sausage mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
