Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 6 oz. chicken apple sausage (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 small sweet onion (finely diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 1 medium sweet potato (cut into ½-inch cubes)
  • 1 ¼ cup tri-color quinoa (rinsed and drained)
  • 2 ¼ cup chicken broth*
  • ¾ tsp. salt (to taste)
  • ¼ tsp. paprika
  • ½ tsp. sage (ground)
  • 2 cups kale (finely chopped)

Instruction

  • In a large skillet over medium heat add 1 tablespoon of oil with the cut sausage. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until sausage is seared.
  • Remove sausage from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Add remaining oil to the skillet with diced red onion and saute over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Stir in crushed garlic and continue cooking over medium heat for 1 minute.
  • Push onion and garlic to one side of the skillet and add in cubed sweet potato. Cook for 5-6 minutes over medium heat, or until potatoes begin to soften. (They do not need to be completely cooked through yet!)
  • Mix in quinoa, broth, salt, paprika, and ground sage. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low.
  • Simmer quinoa for 20-25, or until fluffy and cooked through.
  • Add sausage back to the skillet along with the chopped kale. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until sausage is heated through. Serve and enjoy!
