1 c TURKEY HAM, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 lb FULLY COOKED SMOKED TURKEY SAUSAGE, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 tbsp olive oil, DIVIDED
1 c chopped onion
1/2 c celery, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 Medium green pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 Clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1 whole bay leaf
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/4 c chopped fresh parsley
1-1/4 c uncooked long-grain rice
16 oz TURKEY BROTH
1 Can (16 oz) tomato sauce
To Taste salt and pepper
In a 5-quart saucepan, over medium heat, sauté turkey ham and sausage in 1 teaspoon oil until lightly browned on all sides. Remove from pan and reserve.
In the same saucepan heat remaining oil; add onion, celery, green pepper, garlic and seasonings. Cook about 10 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Add rice and cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Add broth and tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 25 to 30 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Remove bay leaf. Stir in turkey ham and sausage. Heat well. If needed, add 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Stir well.
Serve hot in bowls.
