DH and I really enjoyed this. I increased the onions to about a cup and the celery to about a half cup, plus I made about 3 cups of brown rice. I also added a little water during the simmering as it was very dry. My main criticism. and the reason for four stars instead of five, is that the directions were very vague and took some deciphering. For example, it should have specified how the turkey sausage was to be cooked (i.e., whole or broken up, sauteed or baked, etc.)

I love to cook!!! Before I became disabled, I worked as a Caterer and as a Supervizing Manager in a Deli/Market for 15 years. It was my life. I miss it very much.
I have learned alot about cooking and baking from my Grandmother's and my Aunt's.We do a lot of canning, things like Jellies and Apple butter, Chow Chow,Mixed pickles, Strawberry jam, Gr. Beans and Pickled Beats. And my favorite is the homemade Strawberry Jam. We have even had several Mollasses Stir Offs in the Fall at my Church & we make Apple Butter and Cider. I was raised in the Southeast and we love to COOK. It must be something in the water? LOL & If it involves cooking count me in!!!
I Love the Food Network and all the cooking shows. I Have found alot of great recipes and made alot of friends from this Web site.
