Southern “Clean” Jambalaya

This recipe is spicy and was adapted from several different recipes found in Clean Eating Magazine, Tosca Rena’s Eat Clean Diet, and my Grammy’s original creole recipe. This is not your original down home fatty version from Louisiana but I still like it.

2 cups brown rice Turkey sausage

1 lb shrimp (chicken is optional)

1/2 onion diced/minced

2 cloves garlic minced

1 green pepper diced fine

1 yellow pepper diced fine

Dash of ground flax

Tony’s creole seasoning to taste
