Receta Easy Sweet French Cassoulet
The French know cassoulet as a classic, long-simmered dish consisting of white beans and various -- sausages, pork or goose. This version is a less time consuming spin on the classic.
This is my adapted version from the original. I made this one based on what I had on hand in the pantry. Both are good, it depends on what you're in the mood for.
This is my personal favorite because I used local Wisconsin Northwoods Mead from White Winter Winery. I was out of dry white and decided to give it a try. Obviously it changed the flavor and how I came up with name. Below is the link to their website if you're curious.
My name attests to my French heritage and I love a great French wine like anyone else. You know what they say, "cook with the wine you plan on drinking." I prefer to use local wine because it bring indoors a little of my outdoors.
Here in Wisconsin we have some wonderful Wineries. I listed a few of them in my profile and White Winter is among them. If you're feeling adventurous, order some Mead and give this a try. You wont be disappointed and it's not too sweet I promise.

- In large saucepan add 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil and heat until hot. Add celery, carrots and salt/pepper; sauté until crisp tender.

- Next, slowly pour chicken broth and stewed tomato juice into saucepan. Bring to boiling.
- Stir in the beans, turkey sausage and chicken. Return to boiling; reduce heat and simmer uncovered 15 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite dinner rolls or crusty bread.
- Note: The pepper jack cheese in the sausage links is very light and barely noticeable. I like a kick added to a lot of things. So when I say barely, I mean it literally.
