Ingredients
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 pinches saffron threads
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 12 oz raw mild Italian turkey sausage, cut into 1-inch chunks (TIP: Use kitchen shears to cut sausage.)
- 2 small shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 3 cups grape tomatoes
- 2 cups BPA-free canned cannellini beans
- 2 cups loosely packed shredded kale
- 2 cups loosely packed baby spinach
Preparation
1. In a small saucepan on medium, bring broth to simmer. Add saffron and remove from heat. Set aside.
2. In a large saucepan on medium-high, heat oil. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Add shallots, garlic, thyme, pepper and salt and cook, stirring frequently, until shallots are softened and garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, beans and reserved broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Add kale and spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until greens are wilted, 1 to 2 minutes more.
