Red Beans and Rice

8 ounces reduced-fat smoked turkey sausage, sliced
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 1/2 cups chopped green peppers
1 1/2 cups sliced celery
1/2 cup sliced green onions and tops
1/2 to 1 jalapeño chili
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
2 cans (15 ounces each) Red or Kidney beans or 3 cups cooked dry-packaged Red or Kidney beans, rinsed, drained
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 to 4 dashes red pepper sauce
Salt
Cayenne and black pepper
4 cups cooked rice, warm
  1. Cooked sausage in large saucepan over medium heat until well browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat. Add onions, green peppers, celery, green onions, jalapeño chili and garlic to pan; sauté until vegetables begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in herbs; cook 1 to 2 minutes longer.
  2. Add beans to saucepan; mash about 1/4 the beans with potato or meat mallet. Add broth to saucepan; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until vegetables are tender and broth is thick, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard bay leaves; season to taste with red pepper sauce, salt, cayenne and black pepper.
  3. Serve bean mixture over rice in shallow bowls.

Makes 6 main dish servings.

TIP: Beans suggestions are Red, Kidney and Pink beans.
