Skillet Turkey Sausage & Rice

This is one of those recipes that I immediately knew would go into the weekly recipe rotation. Once school starts, obviously I won't have time to try lots of fun, new recipes. This is SO easy and SO delicious, it will be perfect to have every week. Not to mention sausage and rice dishes are Will's favorite. Including cutting up the bell pepper, onion, and sausage, this dish took a total of 30 min. Awesome.

1 pkg (16 oz) smoked turkey or chicken sausage
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 c fat-free chicken broth
2 bags quick-cooking brown rice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
fresh chopped parsley

Cut sausage into 1/2-inch slices. Sauté in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove sausage slices, and drain on paper towels.

Add bell pepper, onion, and garlic to skillet, and sauté over medium-high heat 4 minutes or until tender. Add chicken broth, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of skillet, and bring to a boil. Remove rice from cooking bag; add rice, sausage, salt, and pepper to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 5 minutes or until rice is tender. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley!
