Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian turkey sausage, casings removed

  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms

  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley, divided

  • 2 cubes beef bouillon

  • ½ teaspoon dried sage

Directions

  1. Heat a pot over medium heat. Cook and stir turkey sausage in the hot pot until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.

  2. Stir carrots, onion, mushrooms, 1/4 cup parsley, and garlic into sausage. Cook and stir until onion is soft, 7 to 10 minutes.

  3. Pour water, garbanzo beans with liquid, beef bouillon cubes, and sage into sausage mixture. Bring to a boil, cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Skim and discard any accumulated fat.
