Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 cups yellow onion diced (about ½ a large onion)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 lb turkey sausage
- 1 tablespoon Italian spice blend
- 1 can herbs and spices diced tomatoes 756 mL
- 1 can white navy beans 540 mL, rinsed and drained
- 900 ml vegetable broth
- 3 cups frozen cheese tortellini
- 6 cups spinach 1x 284g bag
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add onion and garlic. Saute for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and onions appear translucent in colour.
- With a sharp knife, slice the casing of each sausage lengthwise. Remove the sausage meat from the casing and add to the onion and garlic. Saute until fully cooked through and meat is no longer pink in colour (about 5 minutes). Stir in Italian spice blend.
- Pour in an entire can of diced tomatoes (including the juices), along with the navy beans and vegetable broth. Stir. Bring to a simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in spinach (this may need to be done in batches as the spinach wilts to allow room!) and tortellini (no need to thaw this first). Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, occasionally stirring until spinach wilts and tortellini is tender.
- Adjust seasoning to desired taste.
