Instructions
Step 1:
Start by placing a Dutch oven or pot over medium heat, then add olive oil. Once hot, add the sausages. Cook until it’s crispy on the sides, then transfer to a bowl.
Step 2:
In the same pan, add the chopped onions and cook for 90 seconds. Next, add the bell peppers, and celery. Cook for a few minutes, then add minced garlic cloves. Saute until fragrant, then add the seasonings. Mix until everything is well seasoned.
Step 3:
Bring back the sausages, then add the chicken broth. Let it come to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer. Make sure to scrape down the bottom of the pan.
Step 4:
Add the presoaked beans, bay leaves, and turkey and cook for 2 hours covered.
Step 5:
Get three spoonfuls of the beans and mash them to turn them into a paste. Add it back to the pot and mix well. If it’s too thick, you can add more chicken broth.
Step 6:
Add a scoop over your rice and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and green onions. Serve and enjoy!
