Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground Italian turkey sausage (removed from casings)
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1 can diced tomatoes (14 ½ ounces)
• 1 can organic tomato sauce (15 ounce)
• 2 leaves bay
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon oregano
