A hearty, satisfying, and healthy soup that is perfect for the recent blast of cold weather! The soup starts with homemade turkey sausage- it's easier than you think to make your own! Making your own sausage allows you to have control over the seasoning and amount of fat, you can adjust the seasoning to suit your own taste. I served our soup with homemade pita chips.
Turkey Sausage, Kale and White Bean Soup
-1.25 lb homemade turkey sausage (recipe follows)
- 2 tsp olive oil
