DRIED BEANS N SMOKED TURKEY WINGS

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound dried beans, Lima, Pinto, Navy (your choice)
2 smoked turkey wings
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic (chopped fine)
1 small pod Red Pepper or red pepper flakes (1/4 tsp.)
1 or 2 small ribs of celery, chopped fine (I like it better without the celery) Mickey Porter that is!
1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke (prefer Colgin brand)
1 tablespoon EVOO, (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 tablespoon white sugar or Splenda equivalent
Kosher or Sea Salt (to taste) or substitute Mrs. Dash or low sodium salt
Freshly ground black pepper corns (Tellicherry)
1 Beef bouillon cube
2 bay leaves

Cover beans with water in 8 quart sauce pot and soak overnight.  The next morning, pour off water and cover them again with water adding all ingredients except the salt.  Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer; allow cooking about 4 hours or until the beans create their own gravy.  If your bean juice (gravy) is not thick enough, remove one cup of the beans and mash or puree them and add back to the pot and allow to simmer an additional 30 minutes to an hour.  When almost finished cooking, test taste add salt if needed.  Before severing, remove the bay leaves and turkey wing bones and skin.

YIELD:  8 servings
