1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces turkey sausage, cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds
4 cups chicken broth
1 medium baking potato (about 8 ounces), peeled
4 cups stemmed and shredded kale
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Instructions
1. Spray a large saucepan with nonstick spray; set over medium heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 20 seconds.
