smoked turkey black-eyed peas
we love blackeyed peas, especially my cajun black-eyed pea stew with sausage or my blackeyed pea cakes with paprika lime cream sauce. it is something comforting about them that we love. a great traditional new year's recipe. i love the smokiness the turkey leg gives to the peas. there is enough added flavor but not too much to overpower.
blackeyed peas are one of the cheapest ingredients in a grocery store that can stretch far! i know when you saw ‘blackeyed pea’ you immediately thought, “eeewww!” try them this way and i hope i change your mind!
