Instructions

  • In a large bowl, cover the black eyed peas with water and soak them overnight.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a plate and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
  • Add the peppers, celery, and onions to the pot with the bacon fat. Stir until combined then add the strained black eyed peas.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring that it covers the black-eyed peas completely. Add additional water to ensure beans are fully covered, if needed. Stir in spices.
  • Place the turkey tails, turkey legs, and turkey necks in the pot. Allow the mixture to simmer until the black-eyed peas are tender and the turkey is cooked through (about 1.5 to 2 hours).
  • Serve the black-eyed peas and turkey stew with the crispy chopped bacon pieces on top.
