5 links Italian turkey sausage (may use hot if you like it spicy)

2 tsp olive oil

2 cans petite diced tomatoes with juice

2 cans cannellini beans, drained & rinsed

2 Tbsp minced garlic

2 tsp oregano

2 tsp basil

½ tsp fennel seeds

1 ¼ cup chicken stock

4 cups chopped kale

Brown the sausage in an oiled pan over medium heat. Once cooked mostly through, slice the sausage and add to the crockpot with all the other ingredients, except the kale. Cook on low for 5 hours or on high for 2 ½ hours. Add the chopped kale and cook for another 45 minutes. Optional: serve topped with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
