EatingWell: A lighter take on cassoulet
A classic cassoulet recipe is made with a variety of fatty meats like duck confit and pork sausage and cooked over the course of multiple days. This healthy cassoulet recipe is streamlined and lightened up with the use of pork shoulder, turkey kielbasa sausage and boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Pork butt (or shoulder) is usually sold as a larger cut of meat, but if you ask at the butcher counter, it's easy to get a smaller piece for this recipe.
