Soulful Southern stew with black-eyed peas, smoked turkey, beef sausage, and spices cooked to perfection.
Ingredients:
  • 1 smoked turkey leg
  • 3 links hot beef link sausage, diced
  • 0.25 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 6 cups water, or as needed
  • 3 (16 ounce) packages frozen black-eyed peas
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
Instructions:
  • In a large soup pot, combine smoked turkey leg, sausage, onion, garlic salt, black pepper, and seasoned salt. Add enough water to cover all the ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until the meat is tender, approximately 1 hour.
  • Add black-eyed peas to the soup and adjust water level to ensure they are covered by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat until peas are tender and starting to break apart, approximately 1 hour.
  • Separate turkey meat from bones and tendons, discarding bones. Add sugar and simmer until soup is slightly creamy and thickened, stirring often for about 10 minutes.
