Let’s break it down, step by step, making it fun and easy!
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced turkey sausage and cook until browned, around 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside. |
| 2 | In the same pot, add diced carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes. |
| 3 | Add chicken broth and canned tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, stir in the parmesan slowly, darling—this is where the sauce goes from nice to “wait, you made this?!” *Psst: Underseasoned? A pinch of lemon zest wakes everything up!* |
| 4 | Return the turkey sausage to the pot, and add spinach. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes. |
| 5 | Stir in a splash of heavy cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy finish. Season with salt and pepper to taste. |
