Drescription

We love sausage, but it can be high in sodium. In this fast, healthy dinner, we make our own turkey sausage with crushed red pepper, garlic, fennel seeds, paprika and just a touch of salt.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
  • 12 ounces 93%-lean ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 8 cups lightly packed prechopped kale or baby kale
  • 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
  • 2 8-inch whole-grain naan breads (see tips) or whole-wheat pitas
  • ¾ cup mini mozzarella balls, such as mozzarella “pearls” (see tips)

Directions

  1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler to high.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil, garlic and crushed red pepper in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. As soon as the garlic starts to sizzle, add turkey, fennel seeds, paprika and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a wooden spoon, until it is almost cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Add kale, vinegar and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until the kale is wilted and the turkey is no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat.
  3. Place naan (or pitas) on a large baking sheet and brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Top with equal portions of the turkey mixture and mozzarella.
  4. Broil until the cheese is melted and the edges are starting to brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Cut in half.
