1 bay leaf (don’t forget to remove it)
1/2 tsp. crushed, red pepper flakes or more if you like it really hot
2 green onions, chopped
Hot cooked rice

1. In a large saucepan combine the first 11 ingredients. Cook covered on medium heat until all vegetables are soften.
2. I made my rice in a medium saucepan. Add the turkey sausage to the broth and cook for about 2 more minutes. You can add the rice to your mixture or, I added the rice to the plate and then spoon on my mixture. Add a little more zip to the saucy, pass around a bottle of hot sauce around. ENJOY!!
