To prepare the rice: Combine the water, rice and salt in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil and continue boiling, uncovered, until the level of the

to low. Cook 15 minutes. Set aside, covered.
To prepare the Cajun seasoning: Combine the thyme, basil, paprika, cayenne,
onion powder, garlic powder and flour. Set aside.
To prepare the stew: In a large saucepan or skillet, preferably nonstick,
heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; saute 3 minutes.
Add the celery, bell pepper and 2 tablespoons of the broth. Cover and cook
5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the turkey sausage and saute with the
vegetables, uncovered, 5 minutes. Then sprinkle on the Cajun seasoning and
cook 1 minute. Add the remaining broth and the tomatoes. Cook 5 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Drain and rinse the black-eyed peas; drain well
again. Put into the pan with the sage, cover and cook over medium-low heat
