Toddly Mans Big House Black-Eyed Peas Recipe

  • 5 pounds dry black-eyed peas
  • 2 pounds smoked turkey wings
  • 14 cups turkey stock, or as needed to cover
  • 5 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups turkey stock
  • 6 onions, diced
  • 8 carrots, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 pound smoked garlic kielbasa, diced
  1. Fill a large pot with water and soak black-eyed peas overnight. Pour out soaking liquid, cover black-eyed peas with fresh water, and drain. Add turkey wings to black-eyed peas.
  2. Set pot over medium heat and pour 14 cups turkey stock into peas; bring to a boil. Stir celery and red pepper flakes into peas; reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes. Remove turkey wings and set aside; chop turkey meat when cool. Pour 2 cups more turkey stock into peas as needed and stir chopped turkey wing meat, onions, and carrots into mixture. Bring back to a simmer and stir black pepper, salt, and garlic powder (if using) into black-eyed peas. Simmer for 1 1/2 more hours.
  3. Toss diced kielbasa into black-eyed peas, simmer until black-eyed peas and vegetables are tender, about 10 more minutes, and serve.
