01
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up as it browns, until it’s nicely crumbly and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, set the sausage aside.

Step 2
In a Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the turkey along with any drippings, garlic, thyme, parsley, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Pour in the water and let everything come to a boil, which should take around 5 minutes.

Step 3
Next, stir the browned sausage, potatoes, mushrooms, and onion into the pot. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let the soup simmer gently. Give it a good stir every 10 minutes or so, and cook until the potatoes are tender—this usually takes between 30 to 45 minutes.

Step 4
Once the potatoes are ready, toss in the kale and lower the heat to low. Let the soup simmer just until the kale wilts, about 5 minutes.

Step 5
Finally, stir in the sour cream and milk. Cover the pot and let it simmer for another 10 minutes to let all the flavors come together.
