Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links lean turkey sausage
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (no salt added)
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 15 ounces cannellini beans
- 15 ounces red kidney beans
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups baby spinach
Instructions
Slice the turkey sausages into bite-sized rounds.
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, then add the olive oil.
Add the sliced turkey sausage to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until lightly browned. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and add them to the same pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and garlic is fragrant.
Peel and thinly slice the carrots, and chop the celery stalks. Add them to the onion mixture and cook for another 5 minutes to soften slightly.
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Rinse and drain both the cannellini beans and red kidney beans, then add them to the pot along with the browned sausage slices.
Stir in the fresh rosemary, ground black pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes, uncovered.
Add the baby spinach to the stew during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, stirring until wilted.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty Turkey Sausage and Bean Stew!
