2 cups chopped onion (about 1 large) |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
10 cup water |
2 tablespoons salt-free cajun seasoning |

2 bay leaves |
3/4 pound smoked turkey sausage, thinly sliced |
3 cups hot cooked long-grain rice |

Directions:
1. Sort and wash beans; place in a large Dutch oven. Cover with water to 2 inches above beans; cover and let stand 8 hours. Drain beans.
2. Heat oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic to pan; sauté for 4 minutes. Stir in beans, 10 cups water, and the next 4 ingredients (through sausage); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 1 1/2 hours or until bean mixture thickens. Serve over rice. Garnish with green onions, if desired.
