Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Smoked turkey sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 cups Instant rice, uncooked
- 2 Bell peppers, sliced into thin strips (use mixed colors for best presentation)
- 1/2 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 24 oz Pasta sauce (your favorite jarred marinara)
- 2 cups Beef broth, room temperature
- 10 oz Can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and bell peppers. Cook 3–4 minutes until softened and edges begin to brown.
- Add sliced smoked turkey sausage. Sauté 4–5 minutes until browned and heated through.
- Stir in pasta sauce and drained diced tomatoes with green chilies. Scrape browned bits from skillet bottom.
- Add instant rice and beef broth. Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to low, cover, and simmer according to rice package directions (about 5 minutes for instant rice) until rice is cooked and sauce thickened.
- Remove from heat, taste, adjust seasoning, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a slightly crispy top, transfer the cooked skillet to a 400°F oven for 5–7 minutes to crisp the edges before serving.
