Ingredients
  • 2 cups long grain white rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 3 slices turkey bacon
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) package smoked turkey sausage, halved and sliced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, drained
  • 1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

Instructions
1
Combine rice and water in a saucepan, heating it over high heat until boiling point is reached.

Cover the saucepan with a lid, then decrease the heat to a low simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes or until rice is fully tender and water has been completely absorbed.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add the bacon. Cook until it's nicely browned on both sides.
5
Add the onion, garlic, and green peppers to the skillet, stirring occasionally until they're soft.
6
Add the sausage to the skillet and cook until it's hot, then pour in the tomatoes.
7
Stir in the cooked rice and spaghetti sauce, adding Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.

Transfer the mixture to a large casserole dish and cover it with a lid or aluminum foil.
