Preheat dutch oven or large heavy bottom pot on medium heat and add olive oil. Add onion and garlic, saute for 5 minutes or until translucent, stirring occasionally.

Add ground turkey and cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking into pieces and constantly stirring with a spatula. Add Italian seasoning and cook for 30 more seconds.

Turn off the heat and add kale, olives and lemon juice, then stir. Cover and let stew stand for a few minutes or until kale is wilted.
