I did not use a recipe, but pulled this off the internet and edited it to approximate what I did as best I can.
Ingredients:
1 package turkey sausage meat
large onion diced
2 tsp olive oil
3-4 garlic, minced
small bunch kale - rinsed, leaves removed from the ribs & rough chopped
1 lg can Cannellini or Northern beans - drained and rinsed
8 cups chicken stock
1 can small diced tomatoes
about a T of Italian blend seasoning(I use McCormick)
few dashes ground cayenne pepper
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Saute turkey and onions in some olive oil until all is well cooked, onion is soft. Drain, if there seems to be a lot of fat. You can keep some in there, as fat equals flavor! Add the garlic(i actually used a press and used quite a bit, maybe 6 cloves or so). Sweat the garlic in the mixture a bit and add the can of tomatoes and Italian seasoning, and cook a bit, and add the stock. Simmer for about 20 minutes while you rinse and chop the kale. Add the Kale and simmer until it is tender to your liking. It can take a bit, as Kale can be chewy. Maybe 30 minutes or more. Add the drained and rinsed beans. Heat through.
Cook until the kale is as you like it, and adjust any seasoning as needed.
Enjoy!
