A lower-fat version of jambalaya that doesn't skimp on flavor. Turkey sausage replaces the higher fat kielbasa found in other recipes.

  1. Jeff REVIEW:

    Very good. I doubled the batch to have some for lunch. Everyone loved it and asked for more there were no leftovers. :(

  2. lunchlady REVIEW:

    Love this lower fat version of jambalaya! Very easy to make. I had never noticed turkey kielbasa at my store before but they had it and it was surprisingly good. I will make this again for sure.

  3. Valerie REVIEW:

    What a wonderfully quick, easy, and delicious recipe! Everything about it turned out perfectly.

  4. NonnaDeb REVIEW:

    Delicious!!! It's was easy, quick, and soon good! I doubled the recipe to make 4 servings-----there was enough for 4 adults at the initial meal and then leftovers for the hub and me the next day. It may have even been better the next day!
