KICKOFF TURKEY SAUSAGE with SPINACH

Serves 6 - 7 POINTS each serving

6 SWEET ITALIAN TURKEY SAUSAGES

1 1/2 cups low-sodium CHICKEN BROTH

1 (1 pound) bag frozen PEARL ONIONS, thawed

1/2 cup GOLDEN RAISINS (I didn't have any so I used DRIED CRANBERRIES instead)

Large pinch KOSHER SALT

Large pinch BLACK PEPPER

1 (11-oz) container BABY SPINACH

1 Tbsp BALSAMIC VINEGAR

3 cups hot cooked RICE (I used BROWN RICE)

1. Spray large heavy skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium heat. Add SAUSAGESand brown, turning, 8-10 minutes. Set aside.

2. Add BROTH to skillet and cook, scraping browned bits from bottom, 2 minutes. Transfer to 5 or 6 quart slow cooker. Stir in ONIONS, RAISINS, SALT, and PEPPER; top with SAUSAGES. Cover and cook until SAUSAGES and ONIONS are fork tender, 4 - 6 hours on high or 8 - 10 hours on low.

3. Transfer SAUSAGES with slotted spoon to cutting board. Cut each diagonally into 5 slices. Stir half of SPINACH into slow cooker, cooking just until wilted. Repeat with remaining SPINACH. Stir in sliced SAUSAGES and VINEGAR. Serve with RICE.

Per serving (5 slices sausages w/ about 1/2 cup onion mixture and 1/2 cup rice):
