I adapted this recipe from Cooking Light after my daughter was diagnosed with allergies to gluten, soy and dairy. The original recipe called for 3/4 cup of egg substitute, which I never have on hand.

This was great! I cut the cayenne to 1t. instead of 1T and it was plenty spicy! - 2/25/11

I used a turkey Jennie-O kielbasa (because that's what I had) and 3 pieces of boneless chicken thigh, left out the green onions (didn't have any), used fire roasted tomatoes with chilies, and chicken broth instead of water. Liked it a lot! Froze the leftovers and would make again. - 2/25/09

My hubby is a Jambalaya nut and loved this. I spiced it up a bit, and used Jenny-O's turkey sausage which changes the cal count but not the taste! It is fantastic and a real meal. - 6/20/08
