RECIPE BY: Red Apple Guy

A basic dried bean recipe for the slow cooker. Seasoned with Smoked Turkey pieces, this is a lower fat recipe with plenty of flavor.

Posted on: May 7, 2008

Ingredients

  • lbs dried pinto bean (works for other dried large beans)
  • 1/2 smoked turkey drumstick (available at supermarkets cut into chunks)
  • 11 cups water, for soaking
  • water (to cover for cooking)
  • 1-2 tablespoon kosher salt (to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste)
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Sort and rinse beans with 3 waters (from one container to another 3 times).
    2. 2
      Place in a 5 to 6 quart crockpot with soaking water overnight (my preference, but it can be cooked without pre-soaking).
    3. 3
      Note: a 4 quart crockpot will be absolutely full, but I have used a 4 quart pot.
    4. 4
      Drain soaking water and add water to cover by 1 to 1.5 inches.
    5. 5
      Add smoked turkey pieces.
    6. 6
      Cook for 10 hours on low.
    7. 7
      Add salt and peppers to taste.
    8. 8
      Note: I have used cumin, thyme, and oregano for seasoning, but basic salt and pepper is very good).
    9. 9
      Serve with cornbread.
