Cooking Directions

  1. Remove the seasoning pack from beans. Set aside.

  3. To prepare: Drain water from beans. Add 8 cups chicken broth, bay leaves and thyme. Bring to a boil.

  4. Cover and lower the heat to simmer. Cook covered for 2 hours stirring occasionally.

  5. Meanwhile, drizzle a large skillet with olive oil. Over medium-high heat brown the andouille sausage. Push to the side or remove to a platter.

  6. Add the pepper, onion, celery, garlic salt, lemon pepper, black pepper and cumin to the skillet. Saute for 3 minutes or until softened and beginning to brown.

  7. After the beans have cooked for 2 hours add the Cajun seasoning packet, sausage and sautéed vegetables, tomatoes, and turkey. Mix well.

  8. Cover and continue to cook for 30 minutes OR until the beans are tender. When done add parsley then taste and adjust salt to your taste, if needed. Mix well.
