Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Soak the kidney beans overnight in the water, or you can use the quick soak method. Bring them to a boil and then let them sit, covered, on the back of the stove for an hour or two.
  2. After you have done the initial bean preparations let them boil for about an hour or until they are getting tender. While they cook, you can prepare the vegetables and the meat. The onion, celery and garlic will need chopping.
  3. Fry the turkey sausage in a large skillet. Crumble it up with a fork as it cooks. Set the sausage aside until the beans have cooked at least an hour.
  4. After the beans have softened up and are getting close to tender, it is time to add the rest of the ingredients. If your sausage is spicy, you may not want to add the Tabasco, so taste it before adding any. If your sausage is not spicy, then a small shot of Tabasco will marry nicely with the rest of the dish. Simmer the beans, sausage and vegetables for about half an hour longer, or until the beans are all the way tender. If you put the brown rice on to cook right before adding the vegetables and sausage to the beans, they should get done at about the same time.
  5. Serve this by putting some rice into a cereal bowl. Then, ladle a goodly amount of the bean mixture on top of the rice.
