Jambalaya (my way)
I start with Jennie •O Turkey Sausage, celery, chopped red onions,
green pepper, green onions, chopped tomatoes and basmati rice
So with these ingredients assembled I sauteed the celery, onions, chopped garlic,
green pepper, green onions, in 4 tbsp olive oil. When vegetables are
tender I add the sausage chopped tomatoes, and par boiled rice, seasoned with
salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic, onion powder and a non-salt seasoning.
I like to use a Dutch Oven to cook in,
its heavy and can withstand high heat for fast sauteing.
After all ingredients are mixed and simmer for 25-30 minute on low.
Recipe: Things I have on hand
I whole Jennie O• Smoked Turkey Sausage
1 1/2 c Basmati rice rinsed and par boiled *
2 cups celery chopped
1 large red onion chopped
1 bunch green onions chopped
2 cups chopped tomatoes
4 garlic cloves chopped
2 large cans diced tomatoes
I prep all ingredients by washing and chopping. Saute all fresh vegetables until onion turn’s clear, add chopped sausage, can tomatoes and parboiled rice, let simmer for about 20-25 minutes, just for spices to mingle with ingredients. Flavor with onion and garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper to your taste. I leave this to you and your families palate.
*Hint: to remove of some of the carbs in rice I soak in cold water and rinse several times before using in recipe
Sometimes I add cut up chicken, sauteed in oil before adding at the same time I add tomatoes for a hardier meal! You can add more or less of vegetables listed above depending on what you have on hand.

Nutritional Information on Jennie O• Turkey Sausage
I have never tried jambalaya, but my hubby loves it. xo
It has a bit of a smokey flavor when you use the smoked sausage and doesnt take long to complete with using the basmati rice. Thank for stopping by, wishing you a great week.
I love me a good jambalaya! I’m planning to make a huge pot of it in my turkey fryer this summer and having all my friends and family over for a party. Just have to find the perfect recipe!
My husband was the one that requested the dish, not sure it was like he had in the southern states, but he thought it was good.
I used to be able to find okra fresh when we lived in Texas, that was the best.
