Smokey and savory, the perfect easy dinner the whole family will love.
We love one-pan meals, especially nutritious ones, and this one-pan smoked sausage and rice delivers. Turkey is a great source of lean protein, which is important for maintaining a healthy weight and building muscle. Brown rice is a complex carb that’s high in fiber, which helps regulate your blood sugar and your digestion, and keep you full. Broccoli and red peppers are also nutritional powerhouses–they’re packed with fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. The best part about this superfood one-pan meal, however, is that it’s delicious. Smoked turkey has a wonderful flavor, while garlic and onion add tangy and tasty layers. The whole family will love this dish–it tastes so good that they’ll never guess it’s also good for them.

Wondering what the estimated length of time to make is..
Hi Devon – the One Pan Smoked Sausage and Rice recipe will take about 20 to 30 minutes to cook!
I made this last night. My question is – what kind of brown rice did you use? I had a bag of brown rice, followed the directions, but after 50 minutes, the rice was still crunchy and the veggies were disintegrated. Looked nothing like this picture. Next time I would precook the rice, and add it in when they call for it in the recipe.
Jann, Typically Uncle Ben’s rice.
Should it be instant brown rice?
Hannah, Instant or the 10 minute version is fine.
Same here
Can I use cauliflower rice?
Debbie, Sound be fine!
This was good and easy to make, a family hit. I did add a bit more chicken broth when adding the rice, just to be sure it all got cooked properly and it did! I used instant rice.
Will make again. 🙂
