Number of Servings: 40

Ingredients

    - one pound of dry pinto beans, and one pound of dry great northern beans, soaked overnight.
    - Two smoked turkey drumsticks, about two pounds - defrosted if you had them frozen.
    - Three pounds of yellow onions, peeled and diced
    - One pound of carrots, peeled and cut into rounds
    - Two pounds of sweet potatos, peeled and diced into small cubes.
    - One 12 oz can of tomato paste
    - Two Bay Leaves
    - Spices to suit.
    - four quarts of water


Tips

You can just buy ground turkey and add liquid smoke if you don't want to mess with the drumsticks. They will be falling apart, and it's not hard if you let them cool off and dig in with your hands.


Directions

Put all ingrediants except the tomato paste in a large pot, bring to a boil, and the turn the heat down to a simmer. Let simmer (I do it covered) for about 2 1/2 hours, then fish out the drumsticks. Remove all the skin and bones, shred the meat, and return it to the pot. Then add the tomato paste to thicken the broth.
