A lower-fat version of jambalaya that doesn't skimp on flavor. Turkey sausage replaces the higher fat kielbasa found in other recipes.
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces turkey kielbasa halved lengthwise and sliced
1/2 cup minced peeled onion
1/2 cup diced seeded green bell pepper
1/2 cup long-grain rice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can (14.5 ounce size) fat-free chicken broth
1 can (14.5 ounce size) diced tomatoes drained
1/2 pound medium shrimp peeled and deveined
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add kielbasa, onion and bell pepper and saute 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add rice, stir until well-coated. Mix in salt, thyme, black pepper and cayenne pepper and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Stir in chicken broth and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in shrimp and hot pepper sauce; cover and cook 5 minutes or until shrimp are pink. Remove from heat and garnish with parsley. Serve warm.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

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

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.

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!
