You know you've hit the recipe jackpot when your two kids and one of their friends inhale their first helping of a one-pot sausage recipe 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 one-pot sausage recipe will be a "once in awhile" dinner 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.

Another winner. Just an incredibly good tasting dish. It’s also good over cauliflower rice for fewer carbs. Had some steamed green peas on the side which we eventually just added into the mix. So good!
Dara
Sounds like the perfect meal, Michele!

The title states turkey sausage but the ingredient list says chicken sausage, does it matter which is used, which one is correct? Also, I bought the chicken sausage and as it is raw, I can't slice it, it just smooshes, any reason that is?

Good Lord YES.

You did get the ultimate test for this recipe when you have 'inhalers' at work.
I am laughing here. I love sausage in recipes. I just made a black bean soup last night and was lamenting that I couldn't find any sausages lurking in my freezer.
Simple and tasty works for me.
