Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine paprika, salt, and pepper; add chicken and toss to coat.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chicken and turkey sausage; cook, stirring, until starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in rice, tomatoes, onion, and turmeric; slowly pour in broth and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Uncover and arrange mussels over top; cover and cook until mussels open, 3 to 5 minutes (discard any mussels that do not open).
  5. Remove from heat and stir in green pepper and shrimp; let stand until most of the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
