Popeyes Cajun Rice - Copycat

Chef 009's Note:

This is my all time favorite! Forget about side dish... This is a meal on its own! Everytime I visit a Popeye's I make sure to always get this. Goes great with fried chicken! Feel free to add or take away any ingredients to make it to your liking!

i browned ground turkey and sausage with the green pepper, but cooked the rice and all other ingredients in my rice cooker. Then i put all the rice into the pan with the turkey pepper, and sausage. Fried it up and enjoyed it very much. the spices cooked right into the rice, and was very tasty.
