What a great and easy recipe! I used half turkey sausage and half shrimp. Didn't have the cajun seasoning so made due with what I had on hand. It was really good. There were no leftovers! Thanks!

I made the following substitutions: used a red bell pepper, forgot the onion, added mushrooms, non-spicy sausage, 2 bay leaves, and basmati rice. I also homemade my Cajun spice mix. This dish came out great. I did have to cook longer because my rice wasn't done in the time alloted. It was so simple to make though that I didn't mind waiting. This can also be made in a slow cooker, so it's great to make on a weeknight. Thank you for sharing.

This is a good, quick recipe, but I think next time I'll substitue chicken instead of the turkey sausage.

I am only giving this recipe 4 stars as I did not make it as stated due to what I had on hand. I agree with other reviews...this was definitely ready in under 30 mins (used basmati rice). Unfortunately, I didn't have hot turkey sausage, only had regular turkey suasage and I think the hot would add alot more flavour. I didn't add the bay leaf as I didn't have one and used red pepper instead of green (didn't have). I do think it needed a bigger can of tomatoes (I also didn't have italian ones, so used regular diced tomatoes), so I will likely try again, but it was quite quick to throw together on usual rushed week night!

This was good, although the sausage I picked was a little too hot for us. Will try again with something a little tamer. Also had to cut back on the cooking time -- rice was done in ~20 minutes.

I make this meal for my family all the time, and we love it! Because I don't like spicy food, I make a few substitutions: 1. smoked sausage for the hot turkey sausage 2. Mexican-style diced tomatoes instead of the Italian style 3. 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning instead of the Cajun seasoning If I don't have Mexican-style diced tomatoes, then I use the Italian-style tomatoes and just cut back on the Cajun seasoning. This is great comfort food, and it is also great for those times when your husband calls you on the way home from work to mention that he invited a friend for dinner. I can have it simmering by the time they arrive, and I always get compliments.

Made this with turkey sausage and it was very tasty. Tasted even better with a little hot sauce.

I substituted turkey sausage with fried cubed summer sausage and it went surprisingly well(i have gobs of it that i don't know what else to do with). I cut out a few ingredients that I didn't have. So, it pretty much went like this, can of Italian diced tomatoes, fried sausage, 2 cups chicken broth, 2 tsp cajun seasoning, handful or so of chopped celery, bring to boil and simmer until celery is soft, then add 1 1/2 cups of minute rice, cover and let sit for 5 or so minutes. Turned out great with the minute rice, which I was afraid of using at first (I'm just a beginner in the kitchen). It's also good without any meat at all. The celery gives it a surprisingly great flavor that I love. Thanks for sharing.
