Turkey Sausage Stew with Polenta

November 9, 2010 By Karen Ficarelli

Talk about some comfort food! If old Tom Turkey knew what joy my family gets from this stew, he would run for the woods. It’s great to eat when it’s cold, rainy or even sunny outside.

4- servings
1 medium onion cut up into wedges
1 medium sweet pepper chopped
1 medium sweet red pepper chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
1 14 to 16oz. can of low-sodium tomatoes un-drained and cut up
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 tbs. Italian seasoning
3 cups water
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup quick cooking polenta mix
2 cups fresh spinach
1 package turkey sausage

Over medium heat with nonstick pan add a little olive oil, onion, peppers, garlic, cook until tender.
Add un-drained tomatoes, wine, chicken bouillon, and Italian seasoning.
Bring to boil, cover and simmer 10 min.
Coat large skillet with nonstick cooking spray (Pam olive oil).
Over medium heat cook sausage until golden brown on both sides.
In sauce pan heat water with a pinch of salt to boil, stir in polenta mix cook, stirring frequently.
Add sausage to spinach and tomato mixture, heat through.
To serve, spoon polenta into shallow soup plate or bowl and top with sausage mixture.

Health Benefits:
Turkey is a good source of protein that is low in saturated fat. I like to use turkey sausage in place of pork sausage, especially in stews and casseroles. Spinach is iron rich and high in vitamin A and C. Tomatoes are full of antioxidants and the whole meal is high in fiber and low in cholesterol, sodium and sugar.
