Another day of “improv in the kitchen,” I wanted jambalaya yet had no andouille sausage. But I have plenty of Jimmy Dean’s fully cooked turkey sausage patties. I chopped the sausage and substituted it in my jambalaya recipe. It worked!
I scaled down my original recipe for today.

I substitute kosher beef hot dogs for the sausage when I make jambalaya.
That works, too, Nancy.
