Time 9h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound dry black-eyed peas
4 strips smoked turkey bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 (32 ounce) cartons low-sodium chicken stock
2 hocks smoked ham hocks
2 leaf (blank)s bay leaves
½ teaspoon Creole-style seasoning (such as Emeril's Essence®)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup diced smoked ham

Steps:

  • Place black-eyed peas into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak, 8 hours to overnight. Drain.
  • Place turkey bacon in a large stockpot and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until almost browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove bacon to a plate and chop when cool enough to handle.
  • Heat olive oil in the same pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute for 2 minutes. Add soaked black-eyed peas, chicken stock, ham hocks, bay leaves, Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and discard ham hocks. Add smoked ham and turkey bacon to the pot. Continue to simmer until liquid is reduced and beans are tender, 30 to 45 minutes more. Season with more salt and pepper as needed.
