One-Pot Turkey Sausage & Bean Ragout Recipe

One-Pot Turkey Sausage & Bean Ragout Recipe

This one-pot dinner recipe is sure to be a hit with the whole family. It combines turkey sausages and black beans in a tomato-based sauce, all in 30 minutes.

You know you’ve hit the recipe jackpot when your two kids and one of their friends inhale their first helping and promptly ask for a second. When this particular friend comes over for dinner, it’s time to put on my thinking cap so that I can feed him a healthy, gluten-free meal. I’ve got it down to a science, making sure that my pantry is stocked with gluten-free friendly items, such as tamari soy sauce, gluten-free chicken broth, quinoa and so on.

The sausages that are regularly stashed in our freezer, 5th Avenue Grill Turkey Sausages (we buy them at Costco) happen to be gluten-free. I’ve used them in several recipes, which you can see here and here. Admittedly, using sausages of any variety bump up the sodium count, so this will be a “once in awhile” recipe for us…moderation is always key.

If you want to bump up the vitamins, add a handful or two of fresh spinach or chopped kale. If you aren’t a fan of black beans, try substituting them with cannellini or great northern beans.

Serve the ragout over quinoa, brown rice or even whole wheat pasta to round out the meal.

And did I mention that this recipe is quick? All you need is about 30 minutes, and 15 of those minutes are inactive “simmer” time.
