Ingredients
- Olive Oil: Activates oleoylethanolamide to signal satiety and fat metabolism.

- Lemon Juice: Engages sensory contrast; spikes CCK and slows gastric emptying.
Instructions

- Break sausage into bite-sized pieces, then add to skillet. Stir and sear until browned on all sides.
- Add kale and ½ cup of hot broth. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until kale is fully tender.
