Kale & Sausage

Submitted by Merry Cook

"This is a hearty side dish that pares well with any Italian pasta dish, or with just a nice piece of cooked meat (pork chops, roast, chicken, etc.). It’s a delicious way to add beautiful, healthy, dark greens to your diet."

Yummy! I used low fat turkey kielbasa, which was the star in this, so I was glad I used more than called for. I also used less pepper and stir fried it (and therefore skipped the broth).
