So, without further ado, let's get into the recipe shall we?

Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) hot lean turkey breakfast sausage

1 large onion, chopped

1 medium green pepper, chopped

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, undrained

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth

3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 bags boil-in-bag white rice

Louisiana-style hot sauce, optional

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet, cook and crumble sausage with onion and pepper over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes, broth, Cajun seasoning, pepper and contents of rice bags; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 8-10 minutes. If desired, serve with hot sauce.

SEE? I told you it was fast and stress-free. 😉 My favorite type of cooking.

Health Tip: Replace half the sausage with lean ground turkey and use unsalted chicken broth to save almost 700mg sodium per serving.
