Equipment
- Sturdy pot or Dutch oven
- wooden spoon or spatula
- Knife for chopping
- cutting board
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Can opener
- Ladle
- Timer (optional)
- Serving bowls
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 12 ounces of fresh Italian turkey sausage, casings removed if necessary
- 1 diced yellow onion (approximately 1½ cups)
- 1 tablespoon of finely chopped garlic (equivalent to 3 garlic cloves)
- 1 ¼ teaspoons of dried Italian seasoning
- 14 ½-ounce can of diced tomatoes
- 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth
- 16-ounce package of shelf-stable potato gnocchi
- 3 packed cups of tender baby spinach (approximately 3 ounces)
Instructions
- Heat up a sturdy pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Let it shimmer slightly.
- Remove the casings from the fresh Italian turkey sausage, if necessary. Add the sausage meat to the pot, using a spoon to break it into smaller crumbles. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through. This should take about 5-6 minutes.
- Introduce the diced yellow onion to the pot and sauté until it becomes translucent, bringing forth its sweet aroma. Stir occasionally, ensuring even cooking.
- Incorporate the finely chopped garlic into the mix, letting it release its fragrance without browning. Sprinkle in the dried Italian seasoning to infuse the stew with its characteristic Mediterranean flavors.
- The diced tomatoes, bursting with vibrant acidity, come next. Pour them into the pot along with their juices, allowing their taste to meld with the other ingredients.
- Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, which forms the savory foundation of the stew. Stir gently to combine all the elements harmoniously.
- Now for the pièce de résistance – the shelf-stable potato gnocchi. Carefully add them to the pot, letting them nestle among the simmering ingredients. Watch as they absorb the savory goodness and expand to a delightful tenderness.
- To infuse a touch of freshness, add the tender baby spinach. Allow it to wilt gracefully into the stew, contributing both color and nutrients.
- Let the stew simmer gently for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to intermingle and the gnocchi to reach their desired texture.
- Ladle the stew into bowls, ensuring each portion gets a fair share of sausage, gnocchi, and spinach. The aroma alone is enough to evoke anticipation.
