Red Beans and Rice

This is a really good one to get started with.... spicy, easy, satisfying. Definitely in Jeff's top 5 favorites.

-2 tsp olive oil
-1 small yellow onion, diced
-4-5 cloves pressed garlic
-7 ounces smoked turkey sausage (half a package)
-1/4 tsp dried thyme
-1/4 tsp cayenne
-2 cans kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
-Steamed rice

1) heat oil in large skillet, saute onion and garlic until tender (5-6 mins)
2) stir in sausage, spices, beans, saute 5 mins.
3) serve over steamed rice
