Turkey Sausage and Cheese Tortellini "Soup"

The recipe calls it soup, but I think it's a heartier dish than that, but it's still light enough for a summer dinner.  It's also souper easy, ahahhahaha! If you can't find ground Italian turkey sausage, just buy the links, cut the skin open and scoop out the meat inside.

1 lbs ground turkey Italian sausage, hot or mild, your choice
1 (16 oz) package of cheese tortellini
1 (14 oz) fat free beef broth
1 (15 oz) can Italian stewed tomatoes
Parmesan cheese

1. Boil tortellini according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, brown sausage in a medium to large sauce pan.
3. Add beef broth and allow sausage to simmer a few minutes to let the flavors mingle.
4. Add tomatoes with juice, break up big chunks of tomato with a spoon.
5. Simmer sauce while the tortellini finish cooking
6. Add tortellini to sauce and serve with a sprinkle of good Parmesan cheese
