Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. smoked turkey sausage cut into quartered pieces
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup minced shallots
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups dried tiny white beans
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- Pepper to taste
Sort and wash beans. In a metal skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage and brown. Add shallots and garlic for 1 minute more; stirring constantly. Add about a cup of the chicken broth to the pan to remove all the wonderful bits of browned flavor stuck to the bottom of the pan. Place all ingredients into a Crockpot and cook on high for about 8 hours or until beans are tender. Serves 8 or more.
