    yes, this is the ticket! lots of smoked turkey...i cook it first and cut it off the bone so that there is lots of it throughout the green beans...i don't saute the onions, they cook enough with the beans...using canned beans this makes a great pot luck dish, especially when you have to serve many - 12/15/09
