Triple Greens, Sweet Potato, and Turkey Stew
We consider this stew a love letter to greens. Three different types—kale, collard, and mustard—marry with onions and fennel, lending a brightness to the turkey. The sweet potatoes get even sweeter as everything simmers down into a thick stew that’s perfect for cool spring nights. Finish with a glug of extra virgin olive oil.
