minutesIngredients
1 1 onion, diced
1/4 cup 1/4 butter
1 tsp 1 garlic powder
8 cups 8 chicken broth
1 (20 oz) bag 1 Hurst’s Cajun 15-Bean Soup
4 1/2 lbs 4 1/2 de-boned turkey (wings or legs that have been smoked, roasted, or fried)
Directions
- Sauté onion in butter in a large pot or Dutch oven for 4 – 5 minutes. Add garlic powder, chicken broth, Hurst’s Cajun 15-Bean Soup (with included seasoning packet) then stir well.
- Add turkey pieces to pot and then heat over medium-high heat until simmering. Once simmering, cover pot then reduce heat to low and simmer for 4 hours.
- Remove turkey pieces from pot, cover tightly and set aside. Continue cooking beans until tender.
- Taste for seasoning and add salt if desired. Depending on which sort of turkey you’re using, there’s a good bit of variance in salt needed. You may not need to add any.
- Remove meat from turkey pieces, discarding skin and bones. Shred turkey into bite-sized pieces using two forks and then add meat to the beans. Stir well.
- Remove from heat, cover, and let soup rest 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can also substitute chicken instead of turkey.
- If you decide to cook this dish in a slow cooker, cook on high for 6 hours.
