This made a really great, low-cal meal. I used a pound of homemade turkey sausage and spinach, but otherwise kept everything the same. I thought there wasn't going to be enough flavor in the stew, but it was just right actually. I did add salt though. Thanks for sharing this :) [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]
