Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 16 oz Italian Turkey Sausage
  • 1 Yellow Onion, small diced
  • 2 Carrots, small diced
  • 2 Celery Stalks, small diced
  • 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp Sundried Tomatoes, minced

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
