1 package Italian turkey sausage links |
1 medium onion |
8 cups chopped fresh kale |
2 garlic cloves |
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
½ cup white wine or chicken stock |
26 oz chicken stock |

- Remove the casings from the sausage and add to the Dutch oven

Let's cook!
- Place the Dutch oven over medium heat and add onions. I like to sprinkle a little black pepper over the sausage and onions. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink and drain into a glass bowl. Do not discard the drippings yet.
- Place the sausage and onions in a different bowl than the drippings.
- Add 1/4 cup of the drippings to the Dutch oven along with the kale until the greens are wilted. Discard the rest of the drippings.
- Add the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon pepper flakes for 1 minute.
- Add 1/2 cup of wine or chicken stock for 2 minutes
- Add:
- Remainder of the stock
- Beans
- Diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup Sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
- Sausage and onion mixture
- Bring to a boil then reduced heat and cover. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until kale is tender. Enjoy!
