ingredients
- 226.79 g reduced-fat smoked turkey sausage
- 354.88 ml chopped onions
- 354.88 ml chopped green peppers
- 354.88 ml sliced celery
- 1-1 jalapeno, minced
- 9.85 ml minced garlic
- 2 bay leaves
- 7.39 ml dried thyme
- 2 (850.48 g) can red beans, drained and rinsed (or 8 ounces of dried beans sorted, soaked and cooked per package directions, then drained)
- 411.06 g can chicken broth
- 0.75-1.0 ml Tabasco sauce
- cayenne pepper
- ground black pepper
- 946.36 ml hot cooked rice
directions
- Slice sausage, then cut into quarters. Cook it in a large saucepan until well-browned for 5 to 8 minutes. (I added about one tsp of oil so that it would brown nicely).
- Add all the vegetables, including garlic, and saute until they begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in bay leaves and thyme. Cook 1 or 2 minutes more.
- Add beans to pan. Using a potato masher, mash about one-fourth of them. Add chicken broth. Bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 15-20 minutes until vegetables are tender and sauce is thick.
- Discard bay leaves. Season to taste with Tabasco, cayenne and black pepper. Serve over rice.
