Carefully pour off excess fat, leaving a thin coating along the bottom of the pan.
Add the leeks, Brussels sprouts and thyme, and continue to cook until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine, stirring up any brown bits along the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the tomatoes, breaking them up with a whisk or clean kitchen scissors.
