Gelato
Quick answer
Gelato is Italian ice cream, typically denser than American ice cream, with less air and less butterfat.
Churned slowly with more milk than cream, it is served slightly warmer for a softer texture.
Look for muted colors and covered steel tubs — a sign of fresh-made gelato.

Quick answer
Can you make sausage and peppers with chicken sausage?
Yes. Chicken and turkey Italian sausage are much leaner, so add two tablespoons of olive oil to the pan, cook over medium-low, pull them at 165°F, and finish everything together with a splash of stock so the peppers carry the moisture the meat does not.
