Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound black-eyed peas (1 1/4 cups), picked over and rinsed
1 large onion, finely chopped
Two 14 1/2-ounce cans low-sodium chicken broth, or homemade, skimmed of fat
2 cups water
1 pound small white or red potatoes
2 pounds turkey sausage
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 pound head escarole, trimmed and coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place the peas in a large stockpot, and pour enough water to cover by 2 inches. Soak for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse, and return to the pot. Add the onion, broth, and water; bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until peas are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place potatoes in a medium saucepan, and add cold water to cover by 1 inch. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and let cool, and cut into quarters.
  • In a grill pan or under a broiler, cook the sausage, turning occasionally, until nicely browned and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
  • Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook until golden. Add escarole; cook, stirring until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add potatoes and escarole to black-eyed peas, and cook over medium heat until mixture returns to a simmer. Divide among six shallow soup bowls, and arrange sausage links on top. Season with the salt and pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out perfectly! The peas were tender and flavorful, and the escarole and potatoes were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this dish again.

This was a good recipe, but I made a few changes. I used kale instead of escarole, and I added some chopped carrots and celery. I also used chicken sausage instead of turkey sausage. It turned out great!

Not a fan of this recipe. The escarole was too bitter for my taste, and the peas were a bit mushy. I won't be making this again.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a bit of a kick.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The escarole added a nice bitterness that balanced out the sweetness of the peas, and the potatoes and turkey sausage were hearty and filling. I'll definitely be making this again.
