  • Total Time: 140 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz dried black-eyed peas (soaked overnight)
  • 3–4 smoked turkey wings
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 2 bell peppers (diced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 bulb roasted garlic
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp grapeseed oil
  • 1 tsp Bayou City Garlic Pepper
  • 1 tsp Bayou City All Purpose Seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cover dried black-eyed peas with water and let soak overnight.
  2. Rinse the dried black-eyed peas under cold water and pick out any debris. Set aside.
  3. In a large pot, heat grapeseed oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions, bell pepper, and minced garlic until softened.
  4. Add in roasted garlic and let cook for about 1 minute.
  5. Add the smoked turkey wings to the pot and sauté briefly to infuse the flavors.
  6. Stir in the Bayou City Garlic Pepper, Bayou City All Purpose Seasoning, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and rinsed black-eyed peas. Mix well to coat the peas in the flavorful seasonings.
  7. Pour in the chicken stock, ensuring it covers the peas and turkey wings. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  8. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the peas simmer for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. Remove cover and let simmer for 30 more minutes or until the peas are tender.
  10. If you prefer a thicker consistency, mash some of the cooked peas against the side of the pot.
  11. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if desired. Adjust the flavors to your liking.
  12. Remove from heat and serve the black-eyed peas with smoked turkey wings hot, either on its own or over rice with cornbread.

Notes

Soak black-eyed peas overnight for best texture. Use low-sodium chicken stock to reduce salt content if desired.
