1 teaspoon vegetable oil

1/2 pound smoked turkey sausage, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped (about 1-1/2 cups)
3 ribs celery, chopped (about 1 cup)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 ounces) low- sodium diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (10% ounces) low sodium chicken broth
1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ham and sausage. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until sausage is lightly browned. Remove from skillet and place in prepared dish. Place onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic in same skillet; cook and stir 3 minutes. Add to sausage.

Combine tomatoes with juice, broth, rice, Worcestershire, thyme, and black and red peppers in same skillet; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 3 minutes. Pour over sausage mixture and stir until combined.
