🥗Healthier: smoked turkey leg

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Smoked turkey leg is lower in fat, while pork shoulder is more budget-friendly.

Soak black eyed peas overnight in water.

Drain and rinse the peas.

In a large pot, sauté onion, garlic, bell pepper, and celery until soft.

Add the soaked peas, ham hock, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and bay leaves.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1-2 hours until peas are tender.

Remove the ham hock, shred the meat, and return it to the pot before serving.
