A friend brought this to a potluck and it's been a family favorite ever since. It is easy to make and healthy. You can use mild sausage if you prefer. Ingredients:
1 cup brown rice |
2 cups water |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 lb italian turkey sausage |
1/3 cup reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth |
1 green bell pepper |
14 1/2 ounces stewed tomatoes |
4 1/2 ounces mild green chilies |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 cup frozen corn kernels |
Directions:
1. cut the sausage into 1- inch pieces.
2. cut the bell pepper into 1-inch squares.
3. Put the rice and water in a rice cooker and start.
4. while the rice is cooking spray a large non stick skillet with non stick cooking spray. Add the turkey sausage and cook over medium heat just until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the broth and bell pepper and simmer until the pepper is tender, about 4 minutes.
5. Stir the tomatoes, chilies, cumin, oregano and salt into the skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the sausage is cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the corn and cook just until warmed through. Divide the rice among 4 plates, spoon the stew alongside and serve.
