GREEN BEANS WITH SMOKED TURKEY BACON

Green Beans with Smoked Turkey Bacon image

I really like cooking with curry, and this is a wonderful slow cooker favorite of mine. Made with fresh green beans, turkey bacon and garbanzo beans, it has loads of flavor. Keep this recipe in mind especially for the summer when green beans are in abundance. It can be a main dish or a side dish. For vegetarians, eliminate the bacon. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada
