Very easy to make. Took it to work for our annual Oktoberfest. Got really good reviews.

It was good & spicy. Made a lot, so I froze most of it.

I used a little blackening seasoning because I didn't have any cajun. Left the dish a little bland.

After working 8hrs, I'd like to come home and prepare something quick, easy and delicious! Thanks to Kraft for making cooking enjoyable! This recipe was one of those that I will try again and again using a variety of meats!

I made this back in December to get rid of Thanksgiving turkey leftovers and it was really good. i didnt use the chorizo, but it was still really good, and a great alternative to boring turkey recipes.

My family loves the flavor and spicy sausage with left over turkey. I love the quick ease of assembly. I have used chicken boulion/ stock with browning/seasoning sauce (Kitchen Bouquet) in place of the canned tomatoes for a brown jambalaya and then used the tomatoes & tomato juice with shrimp for a different version.

Great "base" recipe; can interchange chicken for the turkey (however turkey is great), substitue extra virgin olive oil for oil (healthier); one reader substituted brown rice for white rice, you can use this jambalya over white/wheat pasta and the sauce freezes well. Recipe has great "zip" and you can flavor to your own tastes easily without ruinning the dish.
