Hearty Italian Wedding Soup with Turkey Sausage and Whole Wheat Orzo

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large stockpot, cook the turkey sausage, shallots, and garlic over medium heat until the sausage is no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes, breaking up the sausage into crumbles. Drain any excess fat.

2. 2

   Add the chicken broth to the sausage mixture and bring to a boil. Stir in the orzo, black pepper, and escarole or spinach. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until the orzo is tender, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in the fresh parsley just before serving.
