Hearty Cassoulet
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Cassoulet, a stew of beans baked with high-fat, high-sodium meats such as sausage and pork rind, is a French country classic. This version gets low-fat countryside flavor from turkey sausage and skinless chicken thighs.
Ingredients:
1
tablespoon olive oil

1
large onion, finely chopped

4
boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1 pound), chopped

1/4
pound smoked turkey sausage, finely chopped

3
cloves garlic, minced

3
cans (about 15 ounces each) Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained

4
tablespoons tomato paste

1
teaspoon dried thyme leaves

1/2
teaspoon black pepper

1/2
cup bread crumbs

3
tablespoons minced fresh parsley



 
Preparation:
1.
Heat oil in ovenproof Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion; cook and stir 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in chicken, sausage and garlic; cook 5 minutes or until chicken and sausage are browned, stirring occasionally.

2.
Stir beans, 1/4 cup water, tomato paste, thyme and pepper into Dutch oven. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 15 minutes or until mixture is bubbly.

3.
Preheat broiler. Combine bread crumbs and parsley in small bowl; sprinkle over top of cassoulet. Broil, 4 inches from heat, 3 minutes or until bread crumbs are lightly browned.
