Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb turkey sausage, sliced
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 14 oz can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups baby spinach or kale
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the sliced turkey sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pot, along with the paprika, dried thyme, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.
Pour in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Return the browned turkey sausage to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
Just before serving, stir in the baby spinach or kale and let it wilt into the stew for 1-2 minutes.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy your hearty and comforting meal!
