Diet-Friendly Chicken And Sausage Gumbo

• Seasoning Mix:
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 bay leaf, crumbled
• Gumbo:
• 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 cups chopped onions
• 2 cups chopped celery
• 2 cups chopped green bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons gumbo file powder (such as Zatarain's(R))
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco(R))
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 1/2 cups seasoned tomato sauce
• 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 6 cups chopped cooked chicken
• 1 pound turkey kielbasa, sliced and cut into bite-sized pieces

1. Combine cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, oregano, and bay leaf in a small bowl for the seasoning mix. Set aside.
2. Combine 3/4 cup chicken broth with onions, celery, and green pepper in a heavy 4-quart soup pot. Cook over medium- to medium-high heat until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to high. Stir in the seasoning mix, file powder, hot sauce, and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is fragrant and vegetables are well coated, 6 to 8 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to medium and stir in tomato sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Mixture will begin to smoke and stick to the bottom of the pan; just keep stirring. Add remaining broth and bring to a boil. Add chicken and kielbasa. Reduce heat; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld, 45 to 60 minutes.
