Preheat oven to 375°. Cut tops off four large tomatoes; spoon out core and seeds. Chop scraps and reserve juices. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook Italian sausage, breaking up meat, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add corn kernels and tomato scraps and juices, and cook, covered, about 3 minutes.
