Turkey White Bean Soup

I love to find new recipes, especially soups for my crock pot! When the weather is turning cooler and I know that we have someplace to be at night, I love throwing a great soup in the crockpot and letting it cook all day long! This one was pretty good - I substituted ham for the turkey and it turned out great...

Turkey White Bean Soup
(recipe found in Taste of Home)
Serves: 8

1 pound bulk pork sausage
4 cups cubed cooked turkey
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) beef broth
1 can (15 ounces) white kidney or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
4 medium carrots, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Crumble sausage into a large skillet; cook and stir until no longer pink. Drain. Transfer to a 5 or 6 quart slow cooker. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until vegetables are tender.
