It all got eaten at soup and chili night, so I think it was popular. Turkey sausage tastes a bit sweeter, so it's a really nice counter balance to the hot sauce.
I do Weight Watchers, although, I've only been back "On Points" since my friends, phoenix_born and dement1a decided to join. (I was an online member, then went maintenance for a while.)
Things I do typically involve keeping a fridge of "right choices." Turkey breast cutlets (easily cooked on the George Foreman grill and stored), 96-98% fat free cold cuts, fat free or 2% cheese, sugar free jams, lighter salad dressings, salad greens, and fruit, etc. Similarly is my pantry stocked: Orville Redenbacher SmartPop Minibags, Wild rice, natural peanut butter, canned green beans/tomatoes/mushrooms(easy add-ins), Chicken noodle soup (60 cals a serving, or 150 for the can), Campbells select butternut squash and red pepper soups, some of Progresso's 100 cal soups, fat free chicken stock.
The key is flavorings, really. I keep a shelf in my fridge just for asian seasonings (Mirin, Sesame oil, light soy, rice wine vinegar, etc), balsamic vinagrette (ubiquitous flavoring), light mayo, spicy mustard, Smart Balance Light (for cooking if I need a "butter" flavor), milk, water, and lots of diet soft drinks (I try to limit myself to 2 a day and don't worry).
Start by getting all your water. If the recommendation is 8 8-oz glasses, you need 2 liters a day. Not hard to track if you drink 3 20-oz dasanis, or have a Nalgene bottle. Then get your 5-7 servings of fruits and veggies. You won't have as much room for junk without it.
There's lots of information about WW out there on the web-- with which you might be able to develop your own plan. Try www.dwlz.com.
