Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage and Shrimp w/ Red Beans and Rice
Dinner Tonight: Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage and Shrimp w/ Red Beans and Rice
I guess we're in for a cold week or so from I'm hearing on the news. This weather is really getting old, it seems as the Ground Hog was right! It was sunny out all day but we had a wind chill that made feel in the teens to the single digits all day. Think warm Spring Days! For dinner tonight it's Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage and Shrimp w/ Red Beans and Rice.
To make this I used one of my favorites Smoked Turkey Sausage, Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage. For me this is a perfect Smoked Turkey Sausage; fantastic flavor, great seasoning, and cooks up just right. To prepare it I pan fried it in a medium size skillet. Just sprayed the skillet with Pam and fried them on medium heat about 12 minutes, turning the sausages frequently until done. When done I sliced 1 1/2 of the two sausages up into quarter size pieces and set aside. Then for the Shrimp I had a bag of Kroger Jumbo Shrimp in the freezer. I sat them in the fridge overnight to thaw. I rinsed them cold water and they were ready to go when it was time to add them to Red Beans and Rice. I added the Shrimp to the mix last because the Shrimp doesn't take long to get done.
Then for the Red Beans and Rice I used 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. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Stir and serve. Black Beans and Rice will be saucy. Before serving this I added the sliced Smoked Turkey Sausage and a few shakes of the Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, too good! I also had a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread.
Zatarain’s Reduced Sodium Red Beans and Rice
25% Less sodium than our original Red Beans and Rice. Serves 4. A New Orleans tradition. Since 1889. This easy-to-prepare dinner mix has just the right blend of ingredients for a great tasting, authentic New Orleans style meal. Zatarain’s has been the leader in authentic New Orleans style food since 1889. So when you want great flavor, Jazz it up with Zatarain’s! This product contains 720 mg of sodium per serving. Our original Red Beans & Rice contains 1200 mg sodium per serving.
Tips: Try adding a half pound of sliced smoked sausage or diced ham to make a delicious dinner entrée.

Cajun Chicken Breast w/ Smoked Turkey Sausage Red Beans and Rice
Dinner Tonight: Cajun Chicken Breast w/ Smoked Turkey Sausage Red Beans and Rice
Another beautiful day out to be Dec. 28th, 50 degrees and sunny! Got the Hoveround Chair out and went around the street for a bit, good to get outdoors. My Mom is back at full strength and was able to get out herself for a while. For dinner tonight I prepared a Cajun Chicken Breast w/ Smoked Turkey Sausage Red Beans and Rice.
I used Perdue Perfect Portions Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts. I seasoned them with Sea Salt and Zatarain's Creole Seasoning, also sprinkled a light coat of flour on them. I pan fried them in Canola Oil about a total of 10 minutes, turning them twice. The Creole Seasoning gave the Chicken a great flavor, spicy but not overpowering hot.
While the Chicken was frying I cut up 1 Butterball Smoked Turkey Sausage and lightly fried it in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I didn't fully get the Sausage done, I let them finish in the Zatarain's Reduced Sodium Red Beans and Rice. To prepare the Red Beans and Rice I just used a 2 quart saucepan combined 3 1/4 cups water, 1 tablespoon of Blue Bonnet Light Stick Butter and Zatarain's Red Beans and Rice. Stirred thoroughly and brought back to a boil. Kept stirring, reduced the heat, and added the Smoked Turkey Sausage covered and simmer over low heat for about 25 minutes. stirred occasionally to prevent sticking. Removed from the heat, let it stand for 5 minutes. stir and served. I made a bed of it on my plate and topped it with a sprinkle of fresh grated Parmesan Cheese and the Cajun Chicken Breast. Made one fine hearty dish! For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
PERDUE® PERFECT PORTIONS® Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (1.5 lbs.)
Fresh boneless, skinless individually wrapped chicken breast filets. Packed 5 filets per 1.50 lb. resealable zipper package. You can cook what you need; store what you don't! Cooks in 10 minutes. Refrigerated.

For dinner tonight a Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage w/ Red Beans and Rice along with a slice of Whole Grain Bread.
i used my favorite Smoked Turkey Sausage, Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage. For me this is a perfect Smoked Turkey Sausage; fantastic flavor, great seasoning, and cooks up just right. To prepare it I pan fried it in a medium size skillet. Just sprayed the skillet with Pam and fried them on medium heat about 12 minutes, turning the sausages frequently until done. When done I sliced 1 1/2 of the two sausages up into quarter size pieces and set aside. Saved 1/2 of one of the sausages and I'm going to have it for lunch tomorrow.
Then for the Red Beans and Rice I used 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. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Stir and serve. Black Beans and Rice will be saucy. Before serving this I added the sliced Smoked Turkey Sausage and a few shakes of the Frank's Red Hot Sauce, too good! I also had a couple of slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. One delicious meal! For dessert later a bowl of Del Monte No Sugar Added Mango Chunks.
