Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey Italian sausage
  • 1 cup white onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 ½ lb Yukon gold potatoes, cubes
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 cups Lacinato kale, chopped (the dark green kale)
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp dry basil
  • 4 tbsp cooked and crumbled bacon (or real bacon bits)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and cook the Italian sausage along with the chopped onion and minced garlic until fully cooked. Crumble the sausage as you cook it.
  • Pour in the chicken stock, water, and add the cubed potatoes, bay leaves and basil. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 mins.
  • Add the kale and heavy cream, and simmer for an additional 5 mins and season with salt and pepper. Serve with crumbled crispy bacon on top.

Notes

  1. Don’t use curly kale, try to find Lacinato or dark green kale.
  2. Crumble the Italian sausage as you cook it so every spoonful has a bit.
  3. If you want a lighter version, use half and half instead of heavy cream.
