Southwest Sausage And Rice

• 1 (5-ounce) package saffron rice mix (such as Mahatma)
• 2 (4-ounce) links turkey Italian sausage
• 2 cups frozen whole-kernel corn
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Dash of salt
• Minced fresh cilantro (optional)

1. Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
2. Remove casings from sausage. Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.
3. Add corn and garlic to pan, and cook over medium heat 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in rice, sausage, cheese, chili powder, cumin, pepper, and salt. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring constantly, until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with cilantro, if desired.
