SPICY BEANS WITH TURKEY SAUSAGE

Spicy Beans with Turkey Sausage image

Here's a jambalaya-type dish that comes together in the slow cooker. It's a wonderful way to warm up cold winter nights and works equally well for casual get-togethers or family dinners. For extra pizzazz, top with sour cream or shredded cheese, or try it with a loaf of crusty bread. -Dorothy Jordan, College Station, Texas
