Easy One Pot Sausage & Rice recipe Ingredients
- 10 ounces Turkey Sausage, cut into bite sizes
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/2 white Onion, diced
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons Garlic, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder

- 3 cups Chicken Stock
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Hot Chili Sauce (optional)
Directions in making Easy sausage and rice recipe
Step 1
The first thing you want to do is pick a pan that is big enough to hold all of these ingredients. You will also need to be able to use a lid.
Step 2
Over a medium flame, saute the cup of turkey sausage over a tablespoon of olive oil. Brown the sausage for about 5-6 minutes.
Step 3
Next add the diced onion, pepper, and garlic. Then season with the cayenne pepper, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix it together and put it back on the stove. Cook until the onion is translucent. This usually takes another five minutes.
Step 4
Add the uncooked rice, chicken stock, and bay leaves. I used white rice but you can also use brown rice. Mix together.
Step 5
Bring to a boil then cover and simmer for 20 minutes. It will be done when the rice is cooked. Make sure you keep an eye on the rice because it can stick to the bottom of the pan.
Step 7
Remove from the stove when it’s done. If you like it a little spicy, add the Worcestershire sauce and Hot Chili sauce and mix them together.
