Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz lean turkey sausage (links or ground)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups canned white beans (like cannellini), rinsed and drained
- 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes (no salt added)
- 2 cups kale or spinach, chopped
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil.
Remove the turkey sausage from its casing if using links, crumble it into the pot, and cook for about 5-6 minutes until browned. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the diced tomatoes, white beans, cooked turkey sausage, thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the stew to a simmer and let it cook uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chopped kale or spinach to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes until wilted.
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
