Introduction

I found this in the 1/11 issue of the magazine, but the recipe is on line at the Southern Living site under Jan. '11 recipes. I modified it by using fat free chicken broth, added frozen sliced okra, left out the blackeyed peas, used turkey kielbasa instead of the andouille sausage and served over brown rice.
