I often buy a package of smoked turkey sausage b/c it's easy to cook (pre-cooked actually) and it keeps for a long time. It's something I can make for breakfast, lunch or dinner in a short amount of time. What's better than that? Anyways I was searching for new recipes to use the sausage & also typed in cannelloni beans b/c that's what I already had at home and this is what I found. This recipe is very easy and had great flavor. It's not really an exciting dish or impressive necessarily, but it's a great recipe when your short on time, want something hearty and already have all these ingredients (like I did).
Ingredients
1 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium)
- 1 (16-ounce) package light smoked turkey sausage (such as Hillshire Farm), cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 (16-ounce) cans cannellini beans or other white beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)
- 3 (1-ounce) slices white bread
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Cooking Spray
Directions
Preheat oven to 375
Heat Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion and turkey sausage to pan; saute for 5 minutes or until browned. Add garlic, and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in brown sugar, tomato paste, dried thyme, ground pepper, cannellini beans, and bay leaf. Add red pepper, if desired. Bring to boil; cover, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Place bread in food processor, and pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs measure 1 1/2 cups. Sprinkle bread crumbs over bean mixture and lightly coat with cooking spray. Bake for 15 minutes or until browned. Discard bay leaf. Sprinkle with parsley.
