Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb Italian turkey sausage

3/4 lb baby kale or 3/4 lb spinach
fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, more to taste

Steps:

  • Remove sausage from its casing and break into bite-sized pieces. Sauté in the oil until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
