Lima Beans with Smoked Turkey image

Both my husband & I really love Lima Beans, & I decided to make some for dinner on Sunday. I thought the Smoked Turkey would add just the right amount of flavor to them & they turned out great. I added a few extra spices to enhance the flavor, & they turned out just wonderful. As a kid in Arkansas we always had sliced tomatoes,...

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 smoked turkey legs or parts of your choice
3 lb frozen lima beans
1 medium fresh onion chopped (or 1/3 cup dried minced onion)
2 Tbsp dried chopped chive
2 tsp each coarse black pepper, kosher salt,& garlic powder
3 clove garlic, minced (we love lots of garlic)
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot add the turkey legs and cover with water. Add a lid, then Place on stove top and heat over medium high heat and bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook till legs are tender. About 1 1/2 hours more or less as desired. When legs are tender and meat begins to pull away from the bone
  • 2. Remove legs from pot, to a large platter and allow to cool.
  • 3. Add the lima beans to the boiling water, and return to a boil, adding additional water to cover beans if desired,cover and cook over medium high heat. Add spices, onion, minced garlic, and stir to blend but continue to cook. Stir often to prevent sticking.
  • 4. While beans are cooking, remove all of the bones, fatty tissue, skin & splinters from the turkey legs. Then chop into nice size pieces.
  • 5. Add turkey back into pot during last half hour or so of cooking, and cook until beans are tender or desired consistency is reached.
  • 6. Remove from heat and serve while still hot, add corn muffins or corn Bread or your favorite bread of choice, and enjoy.

This recipe was a total flop. The lima beans were mushy and the smoked turkey was dry.

The lima beans were a bit overcooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover smoked turkey. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
