Description

A hearty one-skillet dish featuring tender root vegetables, spicy Italian sausage, and a creamy lemon-chipotle sour cream sauce, perfect for a comforting dinner.


Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound spicy Italian sausage, meat removed from casing

1 small turnip, peeled and diced

2 small carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds

2 small parsnips, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds

4 to 5 small Yukon gold potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds

1 red onion, sliced

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 cup chopped kale

5 cloves garlic, sliced

3 tablespoons minced fresh sage

2/3 cup chicken stock

2/3 cup sour cream

2 to 3 dashes chipotle hot sauce

1 lemon, juiced

Crusty bread, for serving


Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, breaking it into bite-sized pieces. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 4–5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add the turnip, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, onion, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for 4–5 minutes to begin browning.
  3. Stir in the kale, garlic, and sage. Add chicken stock and return sausage to the skillet. Stir and let the stock reduce slightly while the vegetables finish cooking, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, mix sour cream, hot sauce, and lemon juice to make the sauce.
  5. Taste the skillet mixture and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, topped with sour cream sauce and a side of crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a milder version, use sweet Italian sausage and omit hot sauce.
  • Vegetable stock can replace chicken stock for a vegetarian option.
  • Store leftovers for up to 3 days in the fridge; store sauce separately.
  • For a richer sauce, add 1 tablespoon mayonnaise to the sour cream mixture.
  • This dish can be frozen without sauce for up to 2 months.
