For a richer jambalaya substitute turkey stock for the chicken stock called for above. If no stocks are available, then chicken soup base can be used. Be careful with your seasoning, as bases are usually full of salt. Alternate Method: The jambalaya is best when served directly out of the cast iron pot. Turkey's gaminess compliments the andouille and holds its own against the cajun spices.
