This dish is flavorful! I actually halved the ingredients to make less and to also turn down the heat a bit, which I’m glad I did cause it was FULL of flavor, the husband was in love after his first bite! If you like a good jambalaya, this is a much healthier version with only 336 calories per serving. By using turkey you save lots of calories then using other proteins, though you could definitely change this as to what you wanted!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 half of a yellow onion, diced
3 teaspoons of garlic, if you are using already prepared garlic, if not 3 cloves mashed will work
1 half of a green bell pepper, chopped
1 half of a red bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of oregano
1/2 teaspoon of ground red pepper
1/2 teaspoon of ground red pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup uncooked long-grain brown rice
2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 tomatoes, diced I use a Roma
1 pound of ground turkey, cooked
6 oz turkey andouille sausage, sliced
Directions:
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 6 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in bell peppers and next 5 ingredients; saute 1 minute.
- Add the rice; saute 1 minute. Stir in broth and tomato; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30-40 minutes. Add turkey and sausage; cover and cook 10 minutes.
