CROCK POT CHRISTMAS BEAN AND TURKEY SOUP

Steps:

• Sear the turkey thighs until golden brown in coconut or other oil that can tolerate high heat. Once done discard the oil and pat the oil off the thighs with a paper towel.
• Drain the beans and discard the soak water.
• Put the seared turkey thighs in the crock pot and add the rest of the ingredients. Give it a stir.
• Cook on low for 10 hours.
• Once the 10 hours is up, remove the turkey thighs and discard the bone and skin. If you like, add some of the meat back into the soup if you want. I didn't because some fell off the bone into the soup and it was plenty.
• If you want sprinkle a little more parsley in the soup. You can also add some salt if you wish, but I didn't as I felt the soup bouillon had enough in it.
• Serve with some crusty bread.
• Bon Appetit!
