Ingredients

  • 1 cup smoked turkey, cut into bit-sized pieces
  • 1 15 oz. can can cannellini beans (white beans)
  • 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 cups broth of your choice or water, more as needed
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, more to taste
  • pinch crushed red pepper
  • pinch freshly ground black pepper, more to serve
  • 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, a little set aside to garnish
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Make it step by step

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium sauce pan over medium high heat. Add onions and saute for about a minute or two until onions start to soften. Add garlic and saute another 30 seconds or so.
  2. Add smoked turkey pieces and saute for another minute.
  3. Add diced tomatoes, broth, salt and red pepper. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  4. Add beans and let everything cook for another 15 min. Add more broth or water if it's starting to get too thick. Add spinach and simmer another 5 min.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning to your taste. Stir in parsley at the end.
  6. Garnish with a drizzle of good olive oil, a little chopped parley, freshly ground pepper and some good bread. Grate a little pecorino or parmigiano reggiano to serve if you like.
