Save yourself some time by substituting 1 cup of premade bread crumbs for your 3 slices of bread.
SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS
- 3 slices of bread (or 1 cup premade bread crumbs)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- ¼ pound turkey kielbasa sausage, thinly sliced
- 1½ cups diced cooked white turkey
- 1 (16-ounce) can Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
- 1 cup Basic Chicken Broth
- ½ cup dry white wine or dry red wine
- 1½ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Tear the bread into pieces and spread them on a baking sheet; bake for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp and lightly colored. Set aside.
In a Dutch oven or flameproof casserole dish, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, carrot, and garlic; cook, stirring, until the onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the kielbasa and cook, stirring, until it is lightly browned, about 5 minutes longer. Add the turkey, beans, tomatoes, chicken stock, wine, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Sprinkle the cassoulet with the bread crumbs and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until browned and bubbling.
