Dad's Braised Green Beans

5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

  • Total Time: 2 hours

Ingredients

1 large onion, sliced

6 garlic cloves, sliced

1.5 pounds green beans

3 smoked turkey legs

4 ounces button mushrooms, sliced

4 cups chicken broth

2 cups white wine

2 bay leaves

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a large pot over high heat

Bring to boil and reduce to rapid simmer. You want evaporation, so don't turn it down too low.

Partially cover and cook until almost all liquid has evaporated. This should take a couple hours, but just keep an eye, stir every now and then.

Remove turkey legs, shred meat from bones. Discard skin, bones, and cartilage.

Return meat to pot and stir to combine.

Notes

You can use turkey wings or legs. I've never had trouble finding these in the meat department of my local stores.

If you want to use ham or ham hocks, just add it in the same manner as the turkey. I'd use 3-4 hocks, or a small ham cut into a few large chunks.
