Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya

This has become one of our favorite meals. I have changed it a little from the original by using cooked turkey sausage instead of andouille and increasing the amount of meat. Using the smoked sausage cuts out some fat, some cook time, and it's easier to find in most stores.
