Servings: persons

1 (16 ounce) package 15 bean soup mix (discard the flavor packet)
4 cups chicken stock or 4 cups vegetable stock
2 smoked turkey legs
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large onions, chopped (I used yellow)
10 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
2 large carrots, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1/2 teaspoon clove
15 peppercorns
3 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon paprika

1
Soak beans overnight in about 3 quarts of water. Drain and either set aside or if you are using a crockpot put on the lowest setting and add chicken stock with the beans.
2
Heat olive oil in a large pan. Score smoked turkey legs or thighs and place in hot pan. Allow the turkey to heat and release flavor into the oil while prepping the other ingredients.
3
Remove turkey from the pan and place into crockpot or set aside.
4
Put onions, garlic, carrots, and celery in pan and cook until just tender.
5
Add all spices and allow to cook for 3-5 minutes to allow dry spices to open up.
6
Add vegetable mixture into crockpot or put the turkey, beans, and stock into the large pan. If you are using a pan bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for as long you can stand! (The smell is so good you will not be able to resist tasting) I recommend at least 4-6 hours.
7
Enjoy!
