I tried this recipe with ground turkey instead of sausage, and it turned out great! It's a healthier option, and it's still very flavorful.

The rice was a little undercooked for my taste, but otherwise this dish was very good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out way too spicy! I think I added too much cayenne pepper.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The flavors were well-balanced, and the rice was cooked perfectly.

I added some extra cayenne pepper to give it a little more heat, and it was delicious! I also used brown rice instead of white, and it turned out great.
