TURKEY SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA



Turkey Sausage Jambalaya image

This is a very easy recipe that I enjoy making when I know I won't have a lot of time to cook. I also enjoy adding a few veggies to put a twist on it from time to time. If you like your jambalaya spicy, add 1/4-1/2 tsp. of Tabasco sauce to give it the kick you're looking for. I've also subsitute andouille turkey sausage which really kicks up the flavor.

Blackened Turkey Breast with Jambalaya Stuffing image

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds boneless turkey breast half, skin removed
2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
STUFFING
4 ounces Andouille or Polish sausages sliced
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 medium onion chopped
1 small green bell pepper chopped
2 green onions thinly sliced
1 clove garlic minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 cups cornbread stuffing mix
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish and set aside. 2. Rinse and dry the turkey breast. Brush with just enough melted butter to cover, and sprinkle with the Cajun spice blend. 3. Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Add the turkey breast and cook for 5 minutes, or until the first side is browned, but not black. Turn the breast over and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until browned. 4. Transfer the turkey to a roasting pan, and place in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until a thermometer inserted in the breast reads 170°F. 5. When the turkey is beginning to roast in the oven, preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to five minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. 6. Place the butter or margarine in the skillet, and melt over low-medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, green onions, garlic, and parsley, and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. 7. Add the stuffing mix, chili powder, pepper, thyme, cloves, and reserved sausage to the skillet, and stir to combine. Stir in just enough chicken broth to moisten. 8. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared dish, cover, and bake alongside the turkey during the last 40 minutes of roasting. Cook covered for the first 30 minutes. Then remove the cover and bake for 10 additional minutes, or until the top is crisp. 9. Place the turkey on a carving board, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Then slice as desired. 10. To serve, arrange the stuffing on a platter, and arrange the turkey slices over the stuffing.

Provided by swirlycinnacakes

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb turkey, cubed
1 large onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced (or more to taste)
4 celery ribs, chopped
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes
8 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon thyme
2 bay leaves
salt
4 cups long-grain white rice, uncooked

Steps:

  • In a sauté or frying pan, sauté diced turkey meat in salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper until just warmed through. In a large pot, sauté the onions, garlic, peppers and celery in oil until onions begin to turn transparent. In the same pot, add the tomato paste and let it brown a little.
  • Once the vegetables are translucent deglaze the pan with the about 2 cups of the stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to mix up any browned bits, and stir until smooth, making sure the sautéed vegetables, paste and stock are combined thoroughly.
  • Add the remaining seasonings, tomatoes and salt to taste. Cook over low-medium heat for about 10 minutes. Add the turkey and cook another 10 minutes. Add the rest of the stock, and stir in the rice, combining thoroughly. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is cooked through. Turn the heat down to low-medium and let the sauce thicken up a bit, with the pot uncovered, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
