Red Beans and Rice w/ Hardwood Smoked Turkey Kielbasa

Dinner Tonight: Red Beans and Rice w/ Hardwood Smoked Turkey Kielbasa








Lot of rain overnight and showers on and off all day. Rain and 50 degrees today, Snow Flurries and 30 for Saturday, 70 degrees and Sunny for Monday, "Welcome to Ohio Weather!" Had to pick up a couple of prescriptions and then spent most of the day at the rehab center with Dad. They told us today that he should be able to come home sometime next week. Tried a new Jennie - O Turkey product for dinner tonight, the Jennie - O Fully Cooked Hardwood Smoked Turkey Kielbasa. I prepared Red Beans and Rice w/ Hardwood Smoked Turkey Kielbasa.








I had stopped at Target yesterday morning to pick up a couple packs of Jennie - O Turkey Franks when I saw that they had the Jennie - O Fully Cooked Hardwood Smoked Turkey Kielbasa. First time I had seen this in store and had to try it!








To start I prepared the Red Beans and Rice. I used the Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Reduced Sodium Red Beans and Rice. Easy way to have some excellent Red Beans and Rice, plus it’s Reduced Sodium. If you love Red Beans and Rice you’ll love this! To prepare; In a 2 quart saucepan, combine 2 3/4 cups water, 2 tablespoons olive oil or margarine and Zatarain’s Black Beans and Rice. Stir well and bring to boil. Stir, reduce heat, cover and simmer over Low heat for 25 minutes. As the Red Beans and Rice is cooking I cut the Turkey Kielbasa in ½-inch slices. With about 12 minutes of cooking time left for the Beans and Rice I added it the mix. Continued cooking another 13 minutes or so and served. One good combination, Zatarain's New Orleans Style Reduced Sodium Red Beans and Rice and the Jennie - O Fully Cooked Hardwood Smoked Turkey Kielbasa. The flavor of Kielbasa paired with red beans and Rice is perfect, I did add a couple of shakes or so of Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Also had a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
