1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 lb ground turkey Italian sausage
2 cups chopped kale
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Top with 1/3 of the sausage mixture then top with 1/3 of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 35 minutes with the lid on. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 12 minutes. Turn the oven on a low broil and broil for 3-4 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool about 10 minutes.
