This stew is absolutely amazing! I used Oscar Meyer low-fat turkey sausage and I have been looking forward to lunch every day since I made it. It's SOOOO good!

This sounds fantastic! I know what I am having for dinner tomorrow night. We are trying the tamale pie by Bette Hagman tonight. I also made a beef casserole type dinner.. it tasted a bit like a hamburger helper.. but better using fresh ingredients!!

It was even better the next day!

I'm glad you liked it! What sausage did you use? I couldn't even taste the kale in the soup, but I think it was because my sausage was much spicier and had a lot of flavor.

And my husband won't eat soup, either. He says it's not a "real meal."

I used plain ol Jenny O Italian sweet sausage. The sausage isnt over powering. I am eating leftovers for lunch now. Tastes even better the next day.
