Ingredients

  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 package Italian chicken or turkey sausage or make your own
  • 3 cups kale
  • 1 cup chickpeas
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  • Remove the sausage from the casings into a large skillet coated with cooking spray. Cook the sausage over medium heat until fully brown.
  • While the sausage is cooking, remove the stems from the kale, chop it into strips, and add it to the skillet. Stir it into the sausage and continue to cook until it is fully wilted (this happens within a few minutes).
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add the chickpeas to the skillet and stir to combine. Pour the crushed tomatoes over the skillet, along with the spices and cook for 2-3 minutes before topping with cheese.
  • Lower the heat to simmer and place a lid on the skillet until the cheese is melted (about 5-10 minutes).
