TURKEY SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA

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.
