4 oz Cheese tortellini substitute tortellini if needed
1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
1/4 lb Smoked Turkey Sausage Links
1 tbsp Butter
2 cups Tuscan Kale chopped
2 tbsp Red onion minced
3 cloves Garlic minced
1 tsp All-purpose flour
3/4 cup Chicken broth
2 tbsp Heavy cream
1 tbsp Fresh tarragon
4 tsp Parmesan cheese grated
2 tsp Red pepper flakes optional garnish
2 Dinner rolls warmed in a 300 degree oven 3 to 5 minutes prior to serving if desired

Cook the tortellini according to the package directions. Drain well and set aside.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil to prevent from sticking. Cook sausage until it has a nice char but not burnt. Set aside before slicing.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the oil and butter. Sauté the kale, onion, and garlic until softened. Then stir in the flour.
Stir in the broth, cream, and tarragon. Bring to a simmer until the flavor concentrates and the sauce starts to thicken to a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss in the pasta and sausage.
Remove from the heat and serve immediately. Garnish with parmesan and red pepper flakes. Serve with bread.
