Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown sausage in the hot butter until browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer cooked sausage to a plate. Add celery, carrots, onion, bell pepper, and remaining butter to the pot. Cook over medium heat, scraping up browned bits and stirring to deglaze, 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 2

Stir cooked sausage and turkey into the Dutch oven. Pour in chicken stock and cream of chicken soup. Stir and bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Add cauliflower rice and peas and return to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, Cajun seasoning, thyme, seasoned salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and cayenne. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Season to taste and serve.
