I have no name for this - but I tell you one thing - it was damn good. At first I was thinking cassoulette. Then I thought to myself "who am I kidding." Real chefs would castrate me for my attempt at such a classic dish for everyday cooking.
So, keeping with my "Cooking Myself Skinny" theme - I thought of this. The only problem is I have no name for it. You do me a favor. I'll tell you how I cooked it and you tell me what I should call it.
Okay, let's go.
So I used turkey smoked sausage and hot turkey Italian sausage. I browned those and removed them from the pan. I sauteed carrots, onions, celery, garlic, and green bell pepper until soft. I added flour to make a roux and then I added chicken stock to form the sauce. I seasoned with dried rosemary, thyme, and basil. Then I threw in some canned white navy beans. I put the whole mixture into a bowl that I made out of puff pastry (the not so healthy part) and I ate myself in happy oblivious.
See the process below.
Remember, I need a name...help me, please? Who knows, if I pick the name you give me I just may come and cook this in person for you!

Hmm, it seems like I've lost all the imagination I had as a kid. =^(
"Everyday Sausage-Bean Stew in..."
Okay, I can't think of anything!
It looks like there's enough liquid to call it a stew. So how about "Sausage and White Bean Stew in a Puff Pastry Bowl"?
Thats a tough one, two types of turkey, navy beans and puff pastery.
How about Turk-ish Delight.
Or do they have something called that?
I think "mm mm mmm damn! in a puff pastry shell" is rather fitting.
That looks absolutely delicious!!! I'd name it...."biscuits and tasty"
Hmmm I don't know what to call it but it sure looks good! LOL
hmm, it does kinda seem like a cassoulet that i made once... minus the puff pastry compilation :) who cares what a real chef would call it! hehe
Another great recipe. I want to cook myself skinny too. How about Saucy Sausage and Beany Bowls?
OMG, that looks soooooo scrumptious! Yummy!
Cheers,
Rosa
How about... Something Worth Killing For?
Darius...got it!...Turkey Sausage and Navy Bean Open-Samosa!
"bean surprise' or 'san francisco stew' I think things sound more official if you have a place name along with the food....LOL
Now that does look pretty darn good! Yum!
I love the pics of it cooking, I swear I could smell the sausage ... a real 'sausage delight' :)
Why does it have to have a name? This is would not make me lose weight, but I would call it Cajun White Bean and Sausage Calazone.
call it "food be gone" lol
You may not be able to call it cassoulet, but you can at least refer legitimately to the bowl as a voul-a-vent (or however you spell it as I never studied French).
You may call what ever you want, it looks super delciious.
whatever it is, i like the look of this one-pot meal...
He, he... ♫ Eat beans in every meal...♪ A great dish Darius!!! I meant to come earlier, you've been so nice leaving comments on my blog and I just don't get the time to be everywhere I want.
I would call them Judias Buen provecho!!! a literal translation would be Good profit Beans.
You know I just bought some really good sweet italian sausage from Whole Foods (if you can, try theirs, so good) and I was hoping to find a new dish besides another pasta dish. This looks soooo good....comfort food at it's best you know?
Well...everything sounds fancier if you use another language, right? So let's keep borrowing from the French ;)
Pâtisserie avec Saucisse et Flageolets
Delicious!
Just discovered your blog via TavoLini. Great blogs! I bookmarked them both. Come cook for me in L.A. sometime!
Looks delicious...how about "sausage and bean surprise."
darius' special... that's what this dish is all about... :)
That looks dang good my friend! I have zero creativity, LOL
Oh Yeah! This looks wonderful...
How about calling them Turkey & Bean Surprise Pockets?
How about a 'Turk-veg bol' or 'Veg-turk bol'(think 'bowl') I will be starting my cooking blog next mth and I'm in the Chi too, so if I win, you can cook this in person!!!!
(too lazy to log into blogger)

Looks good! How 'bout
"Hooray, Darius isn't going to be castrated by French Chefs!"
Sorry, couldn't resist, your comment was too funny. :)
I'd call it dinner.
It kind of looks like something a peasant would have for a fancy dinner (that sounds really bad but basically I'm saying it's fancy looking good ole home cooking!) so I say, "A Peasant's Basket Delight!"
i am not good w/names but that looks fantastic!
Ha ha Darius...you are quite funny. What fun to enjoy a dish with no name. Looks yum to me!!
sausage and bean love bowl. b/c it's a little bowl of love! mmmm!
I was going to say Pâtisserie avec Saucisse et Flageolets (honest!) but somone beat me to it. Let's just call it amazing :) And I'll expect you in Malaysia soon, yes?
That looks amazing! Going into my must try pile.
Navy Puff Pie!
Whatever it could be called - it looks good!
Hmmm... we need a name. Yeah I guess tasty protein bread bowl won't cut it.
It's just delicious on a plate dude :)
LOL... Nice job showing restraint on the title, I always wonder when someone is going to come after me with a clever for some of my names. How about "Cassourole"?
I've got nothing. My creativity is out the window.
I did just try making your sweet thai basil chicken. It was SO good, my family loved it. Cant wait to try some of your other recipes.
"Chicago Sausage Puffs"
Does that work?
Since it's a riff on traditional cassoulet, you could call it cassouLIE. Heh.
A Mequet : Meh!
Hi Darius. First time to your blog, from closet cooking. Your pictures and descriptions are great! Except for the seasonings, it sure sounds like a 'smoked sausage chili en croute' to me!
Good weekend to all.
I don't care what it is. Looks great and yummy!
Hey are you going to tell me how to cook my turkey for Christmas?
I don't know about the name for this dish but don't put puff anywhere in there..LOL
Go B.
Hey,
I know I don't make it over to your blog everyday and DANG, Dude, you make some good looking food. I'm serious, you come cook for us here and I'll bake whatever you want. My husband would so love some good refreshing, DIFFERENT meals than the ones I keep doing over and over. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such great comments. Even my parents commented to me about you and your love for my goodies! Guess the stuff I make probably won't help in your quest to cook yourself skinny--I know they certainly haven't helped me!
Happy Holidays, D! ;)
How about turkey sausage pot pie?
Goshh that looks good Darius!
What about Puffin' turkey stew.. or Cassoulet puff..
Hope you don't get castrated by any chefs. hahaha
whatever it is, it looks damn good!
I need to cook my way to skinny.
the goose is getting fat!
Yum Yum Gimme Some. That is all.
It looks like "flagiolets en croute" to me, but I don't really speak French. :)
Darius...Hi, first time here...lovely dish!Reading ur post, I realize i share your dilemma..I am a believer in using everything (not wasting food etc) So I end up throwing up stuff together to make something tasty...alas nameless! lol

Ahhh. So this was this dish. Looks like it turned out great. I say call it a white bean stew en croute
I'd name it Darius Delight w/sausage. Then you could also get it with just veggies. Now I'm hungry.
Yummy! I love edible art! What a delicious looking dish!
