Ingredients
 

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 link mild or hot turkey sausage casing removed
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups kale stems removed, washed, and shredded
  • 2 15-ounce cans fire roasted diced tomatoes with their juice
  • 2 19-ounce cans cannellini beans rinsed and drained
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté about 2 to 3 minutes until softened.

  • Add the garlic and kale to the pan and cook, stirring until the kale wilts, about 2 minutes.

  • For a thicker consistency, mash some of the beans with a fork.
  • Taste, add salt and pepper if necessary, and serve.
