1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ lbs uncooked Italian turkey sausage casing removed if present, cut into 1” chunks
2 ½ cups fresh green beans cut in half to be shorter
1 medium onion chopped
4 garlic cloves minced
28 oz can San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes undrained and roughly chopped
15 oz can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
¼ teaspoon salt
8 pitted kalamata olives cut in half
½ cup chopped fresh basil

Drizzle the oil into a large sauté pan or walled skillet. Bring the oil over med-high heat. Add the sausage pieces in a single layer and cook, stirring/flipping occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until the chunks are browned on the outside. Add the green beans, onions, and garlic and stir. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5-6 minutes until the onions are softened.
Add the undrained can of tomatoes, the cannellini beans, and the salt and stir to combine. Use your cooking spoon/spatula to further break apart/chop the tomatoes if desired. Bring the mixture to a boil and then cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Simmer covered for 10 minutes, stirring once in the middle. After the ten minutes, add the olives, stir, and re-cover the pan. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes. Stir in the basil and serve.
