• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 14 oz can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 cups baby spinach or kale
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced turkey sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pot, along with the paprika, dried thyme, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.

Step 6

Pour in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Return the browned turkey sausage to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Just before serving, stir in the baby spinach or kale and let it wilt into the stew for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the stew hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy your hearty and comforting meal!
