Ingredients
1 tablespoon canola oil
⅓ cup chopped onion
1 medium red bell pepper, cored and diced
12 ounces smoked turkey sausage, sliced
1 can stewed tomatoes (14.5 oz), not drained
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 can black beans (15 oz), rinsed and drained
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat canola oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add onion and red bell pepper, sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender.
Stir in turkey sausage and cook until browned and heated through.
Add stewed tomatoes with their juice and chili powder, stirring to combine.
Pour in ½ cup uncooked white or brown rice and stir to coat.
Add 1 ½ cups water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes (adjust based on rice type) until rice is tender.
Fold in black beans and cilantro during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Rest uncovered for 5 minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
Use halal-certified turkey sausage; avoid any with alcohol additives.
Green bell peppers may substitute red for a milder flavor.
Leftovers store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For richer depth, add 1 clove minced garlic with the onions.
