Time 10h20m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs dried pinto beans (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)

Steps:

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