- 1/2 pound turkey andouille or other smoked turkey sausage, coarsely chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 2 15 1/2-ounce cans red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 cups cooked white rice

Directions
In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 5 minutes.

My husband and I felt the thyme overpowered the dish. If I made this dish again I would use fresh thyme. Overall, the dish was just okay.

Very easy to make -- definitely a week night recipe! I liked the flavors a lot -used brown rice as it is healthier. I will be making this again.
