turkey wings

🥗Healthier: chicken wings

💰Cheaper: pork hocks

Chicken wings are lower in fat, while pork hocks are often cheaper.

Rinse the pinto beans under cold water and soak them overnight.

In a large pot, add soaked beans, chicken broth, water, chopped onion, garlic powder, and smoked turkey wings.

Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Reduce heat and add bay leaves, black pepper, and salt.

Simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until beans are tender and turkey is cooked through.

Remove turkey wings, shred the meat, and return it to the pot. Stir well before serving.
