Remove sausage meat from casings, if necessary.

In a large skillet over medium high-heat, cook and crumble sausage meat for about 1 minute. Add crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, onion and garlic; continue to cook for 10 minutes or until sausage meat is cooked through and onion has become transparent; transfer to a large saucepan.

Add remaining ingredients; bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until turnips are tender (10 to 15 minutes). Serve and enjoy!
