• 1 pound smoked turkey sausage or andouille sausage, cut into 1-inch slices
•1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, undrained
• 1 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup uncooked long- or whole-grain rice
•1/2 cup dry white wine
• 2 green or red bell peppers, coarsely chopped (If you’ve got them, use 1 green and 1 red bell pepper for a very colorful jambalaya.)
• 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
• 4 teaspoons Creole seasoning

Directions
In a soup pot over medium heat, combine all ingredients; mix well. Cover and cook 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 to 35 minutes, or until rice is cooked. Add hot peppers or hot sauce to taste.
