Instructions

Heat a large sauce pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage to the pot and begin to brown the meat, breaking it up as it cooks.
When the meat is about halfway browned, add the bacon, onion, and garlic and continue cooking and stirring until the sausage is fully cooked through.
Add the chicken broth and turnips and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Add the kale and continue cooking for 5 minutes or until kale and turnips are both tender.
Remove from the heat and stir in the cream. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
