8 ounces reduced-fat smoked turkey sausage
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 1/2 cups chopped green peppers
1 1/2 cups sliced celery
1/2 - 1 jalapeno, minced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 (15 ounce) cans red beans, drained and rinsed (or 8 ounces of dried beans sorted, soaked and cooked per package directions, then drained)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
3 -4 dashes Tabasco sauce
cayenne pepper
ground black pepper
4 cups hot cooked rice

1
Slice sausage, then cut into quarters. Cook it in a large saucepan until well-browned for 5 to 8 minutes. (I added about one tsp of oil so that it would brown nicely).
2
Add all the vegetables, including garlic, and saute until they begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
3
Stir in bay leaves and thyme. Cook 1 or 2 minutes more.
4
Add beans to pan. Using a potato masher, mash about one-fourth of them. Add chicken broth. Bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 15-20 minutes until vegetables are tender and sauce is thick.
5
Discard bay leaves. Season to taste with Tabasco, cayenne and black pepper. Serve over rice.
