How to Make Tex Mex Turkey Sausage Stew

  1. Cut 1 pound of turkey sausage into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Cut 1 medium bell pepper (any color) into 1-inch squares.
  3. Rinse 1 cup of long-grain white rice and add it to a rice cooker with 2 cups of water. Start the rice cooker.
  4. While the rice cooks, spray a large non-stick skillet with non-stick cooking spray.
  5. Add the turkey sausage to the skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add 1 ½ cups of chicken broth and the bell pepper to the skillet. Simmer until the pepper is tender, about 4-6 minutes.
  7. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 (4 ounce) can of diced green chilies (undrained), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the sausage is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Stir in 1 cup of frozen corn and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  10. Once the rice is cooked, divide it among 4 bowls. Spoon the stew over the rice and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
