Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb lean spicy Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, coarsely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 medium red bell pepper, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
1 medium green bell pepper, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 package (12 oz) uncooked quinoa, rinsed, drained (2 cups)
1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ reduced sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups frozen whole kernel corn
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend (4 oz)
1 large tomato, seeded, chopped (1 cup)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • In 5-quart nonstick Dutch oven, cook and coarsely crumble sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain; transfer to large bowl. Cover with foil; set aside.
  • Wipe out Dutch oven with paper towel. Add oil; heat over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion; cook about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened. Add bell peppers and garlic; cook 3 to 4 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until softened. Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to bowl with sausage; replace foil, and set aside.
  • Wipe out Dutch oven. Add quinoa; cook over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Slowly stir in broth, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt and ground red pepper. Heat to simmering over high heat, stirring occasionally. Cover; reduce heat. Simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is thoroughly cooked. Stir in sausage and vegetable mixture; heat until hot.
  • Remove from heat; stir in cheese. Top with tomato and cilantro.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The quinoa was mushy and the sausage was dry.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using a milder sausage next time.
