For a richer flavor, consider adding a bay leaf during the simmering process and removing it before serving. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper along with the oregano and black pepper. To make this dish vegetarian, substitute the turkey kielbasa with smoked paprika and a tablespoon of olive oil. If you do not have long-grain rice, any rice will do. Try using different beans such as black beans or pinto beans for a change.
