I refilled my bowl 3 times… My sister Svetlana gave me the recipe for this wonderful Jambalaya rice pilaf. She kept telling me that kids love it! My son did love it and so did I! The ingredients are simple and the results are amazing!
Ingredients for Turkey Jambalaya:
1 lb ground turkey 1 box creamy four cheese Rice-A-Roni 1 small onion, finely diced 1 can cream-style corn 3 garlic cloves, pressed 4 strips bacon, sautéed, drained and diced 1/2 tsp Mrs. Dash seasoning 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 4 Tbsp olive oil
How to Make Turkey Jambalaya:
Cook Rice-A-Roni according to instructions on the package.
Place a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add 4 Tbsp olive oil and 1 lb ground turkey. Season with 1/2 tsp Mrs. Dash seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Saute turkey until fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula.
Add onion and saute another 3 to 5 minutes, or until onion is soft.
Add pressed garlic and saute 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Sautee 4 strips of bacon, place bacon on paper towels to soak up excess fat, then chop into small pieces.
Add drained corn (cream-style corn is difficult to drain, so just drain the best you can. You still want it to be creamy so just push the lid down and drain off excess juice). Cook another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the cooked, creamy Rice-A-Roni. (note: if your rice seems dry, just add a few Tbsp hot water).
Enjoy, Enjoy!!
