Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
In cooker, gently mix carrots, onion, beans, wine, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, dried thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper.
Arrange soy-protein sausage pieces on top of beans.
Pour tomatoes over all.
Cover; cook on Low heat setting 7 hours 30 minutes to 8 hours 30 minutes or on High heat setting 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes.
Just before serving, remove bay leaf.
Sprinkle with parsley and fresh thyme.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Be sure to keep the soy-protein links frozen until ready to add to the cassoulet. They will thaw and cook without overcooking while the cassoulet cooks. If you have a veggie sausage that is not frozen, cut it into 1- to 2-inch chunks and add it during the last hour of cooking.
