Ingredients
  

  • 1 small sweet onion chopped
  • handful of baby carrots diced 3oz
  • 1 package turkey sausage 20oz - 6 links
  • 2 large green bell peppers chopped
  • 1 ½ cup uncooked brown rice 285g
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 15oz
  • 1 small can tomato sauce 8oz

  • 1 can kidney beans drained & rinsed 15oz
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder cut back if you don't want too much kick
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • non-stick cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Spray a large pot with non-stick cooking spray and start by sautéing the onions over medium high heat. Add the diced carrots.

  • Remove the casing from the sausage. Simply take a knife and slice longways. It should peal right off. Plop them into the pot and break apart with a wooden spoon while browning.
  • Once the turkey is browned add the peppers. We are holding off on them as to not overcook and get too mushy. Add the brown rice and stir to coat everything.
