Poblano Turkey Sausage with Mexican-ish Rice

  • 1 package of Turkey Sausages (I found these Poblano Pepper sausages and I had to try them!
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • 115 oz can corn, drained
  • 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies and spices
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained
  • 1 15 oz can water or chicken broth
For Garnish:
  • chopped cilantro
  • avocado
  • sliced olives
  • sour cream

Grill the turkey sausage.

While the sausage is grilling you can start on the rice. Heat oil in a large pan. Brown rice a bit.

Next, add your corn and brown it a bit also. Add in the black beans. Add the diced tomatoes.Stir in 1 can of water or chicken broth and the chopped cilantro. Bring to a boil. Stir. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes until rice is done and liquid is absorbed. Remove lid and give it a stir.

Garnish with sour cream, avocado, olives, cilantro and maybe a little of your favorite hot sauce. I think this is a great weeknight meal.

Great flavor and not a lot of fuss.
