Turkey Sausage Mixture



What you will need:


Olive Oil
Your Favorite Turkey Sausage chopped
Chopped Serrano Jalapenos(optional)
*Spinach(it's easier to add handfuls at a time so that it can cook)
*Mushrooms(it's easier if you find a container of chopped mushrooms)
Minced Garlic to taste
Salt to taste
**Brown Rice(optional)

*I prefer a lot of vegetable so I add a ton of spinach and mushrooms
**I put the sausage on a bed of brown rice, it's delicious on it own.

The bigger the pan the better

Make It:

Add the jalapeno peppers(if using) and minced garlic to hot pan and cook 1-2 minutes. Then add the chopped turkey sausage and cook for a few minutes until sausage is almost cooked to your preference, make sure to stir occasionally. Add the mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes. 

Finally add the spinach in handfuls until stir so that it cooks quicker. Once all the spinach has been added and cooked add the salt(if using) Stir.

Serve and Enjoy

Veggie Jambalaya

Nutrition: Veggie Jambalaya

Recipe

  • 12oz pack of LightLife Smart Ground Veggie Crumbles
  • 14oz pack of LightLife Smart Dogs Veggie Links
    *** NOT RECOMMENDED. I would double up on the Veggie Crumbles above.
    These dogs taste like sand. Going to find a better tasting veggie dog.
  • 28oz can of diced tomatoes
  • 32oz of Vegetable Broth
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1 cup diced white onion
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Tapatio (Hot Sauce)
  • 2 tbsp Creole Seasoning (or to taste)
  • 2 cups Cooked brown rice
  • *** Instead of the Veggie crumbles & Links, you can use your ground meat & sausage of choice

Directions

  1. Cut up hot dog links into chunks, add to pot.
  2. Break up crumbles into small chunks, add to pot.
  3. Add the celery, bell peppers &onions to the pot.
  4. Add the vegetable broth & diced tomatoes (w/ tomato juice) to pot.
  5. Mix the pot contents & then add your Worcestershire, Hot Sauce & Creole seasoning. Stir & season to taste. (Be careful if using the vegetarian meat as they are generally already salty).
  6. Start crock pot & stir occasionally. Should cook in about 5-7hrs on low & 2-3hrs on high.
  7. In the meanwhile, cook the rice however you normally would & set aside.
  8. Once the crockpot is done, serve the mixture on a bed of rice. Enjoy.

Review



Good substitute recipe for Fat Tuesday. Just add beads & a Zydeco band to complete. I used the Smart Dogs Veggie Links to try and replace the Andouille sausage but I am not a fan of that brand. If I had to make it again now, I would just double or triple the amount of Veggie Crumbles instead. I will update this blog post once I find a Veggie Sausage I like. Also the Veggie version doesnt need to cook as long the regular meat version. You can use ground beef/turkey/chicken or chicken chunks instead of the Veggie crumbles. Also replace the Veggie Links with regular hot links.
