Recipe: Red Beans & Rice with Sausage

I follow a lot of food related blogs and have gotten several recipes off of them as part of my goal of expanding my recipe file.  I recently made a dish that was quick and easy, healthy, and provided leftovers for a few more meals.

Red Beans and Rice with Turkey Sausage was inspired by THIS recipe from Good Life Eats.  If you have never tried turkey sausage, give it a shot.  It has much less fat than regular sausage, and my husband eats eat which means it doesn't taste low fat. 

Also, don't get overwhelmed by all of the herbs and spices.  If you don't have them, make an investment.  Even if you don't think you will use them a lot, remember they keep a really long time.  We have discovered you can find herbs and spices for less if you buy them in the Hispanic section of the grocery store.  Same product, just packaged differently.  We have also found that World Market has reasonably prices herbs and spices, and often have the ones that a grocery store does not.
