Great Northern Beans

Let’s start with the following ingredients:

1 bag of Great Northern Beans - open and soak overnight in water

3-4 carrots cut into a medium size bites

3-4 starks of celery cut into medium size bites

4 cloves of fresh garlic chopped

1 large white onion chopped

4-5 smoked turkey tails cut into 3 pieces

Chicken or veggie broth

salt, pepper, and the seasonings of your choice

2 TBL spoons of Olive oil

If you have a Dutch oven pot which is great for this meal…. add the olive oil in the pot heat it on a medium flame add the carrots, garlic, onions, and celery allow to cook but remain crunchy add the cut up turkey tails and then add the container of chicken or veggie broth and allow to slow cook for about 20-25 mins. Then take your beans that have soaked overnight and been rinsed put them in the pot with the veggies and smoked turkey tails and stir to combine everything add about 11/2 cups of water and cover the pot and allow the beans to cook for about 45min - 1hr. or until they are tender. Check the beans while cooking and be sure to stir occasionally to be sure they don’t stick, when they reach the tenderness of your desire turn them off and serve with cornbread or biscuts. I love them plain with no bread at all. Awesome filling healthy mean. Full of protean and fiber.
