MINESTRONE WITH KALE AND TURKEY SAUSAGE



Minestrone with Kale and Turkey Sausage image

Minestrone is a robust Italian soup of assorted vegetables and beans - the choices vary from cook to cook and season to season. In this version we use turkey sausage to add flavor and heartiness; we like how it complements the kale and chickpeas.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups torn sourdough bread, crusts removed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 links mild Italian turkey sausage (about 6 ounces), casings removed
1 small onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 small bunch curly kale, chopped (about 8 cups)
1 14.5-ounce can petite diced tomatoes
1 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup ditalini pasta (about 4 ounces)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the bread on a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake, tossing halfway through, until crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned in spots and no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the onion, carrots, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook until almost tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the kale and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, chickpeas, pasta, broth and 4 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the kale is tender and the pasta is al dente, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with the croutons and season with pepper.

SAUSAGE AND SOURDOUGH STUFFING



Sausage and Sourdough Stuffing image

Savory stuffing, a classic, and enough for an 8- to 12-pound turkey. Can also be doubled. Also excellent to make in advance and refrigerate until it's time to bake/roast. This recipe came about when I decided to marinate a turkey in salt brine. Most packaged stuffings are too salty to put in a brined turkey. This stuffing is outstanding. Simply scrumptious. My husband, who hates stuffing, loves it.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ pound bulk breakfast sausage
4 tablespoons sweet butter
1 medium onion, diced
8 stalks celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, diced
1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth, or more if needed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
4 leaves fresh sage, leaves finely chopped
2 sprigs rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped
4 cups stale sourdough bread cubes
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a baking dish.
  • Heat 1/2 cup water in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up into 1-inch pieces until no longer pink and most of the water has evaporated. Drain and discard any grease.
  • Add butter and increase heat. As sausage starts to sizzle, add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook to a light to medium brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add parsley, sage, and rosemary; cook for 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Add bread cubes and turn gently to moisten, being careful not to break them. Add more chicken broth in 1/4-cup increments, if needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper, being careful not to burn yourself. Transfer stuffing to the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until golden brown, another 30 minutes.
