ingredients

8 ounces smoked turkey breast
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 quart water
1 pound dried butter beans (mature lima beans), soaked
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt

directions

Boil the turkey and onion in water for 45 minutes.

Add the salt in the final 15 minutes of cooking to prevent the beans from becoming tough.
