Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375F.
3 Add the turkey sausage, and cook for 5 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally to break up the chunks. Transfer to a deep, square casserole dish.
4 Add the remaining oil to the skillet, then add the chicken and cook about 2 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to the casserole dish.
5 Add the onion, celery and bell pepper to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
6 Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
7 Pour the rice into the casserole dish over the sausage and chicken, then pour the contents of the skillet into the casserole dish.
8 Stir to combine, then cover and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for 15-20 minutes more until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
9 Top with parsley and almonds, if desired, and serve.
