We all have days when we don’t want to leave the comfort of our beds or couch to make a fancy dinner. If you’re also having such a day, I have the perfect recipe for you: The instant pot black eyed peas recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 tspn olive oil
- 1 cup chopped sweet onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 pound bag dried black eyed peas rinsed
- 1 smoked turkey leg or wings About 1 pound to 1 1/2 pounds, fully cooked

- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Place the Instant Pot on the sauté function and add the olive oil.
- When hot add the onions and garlic. Sauté until translucent and fragrant.
- Add in the chicken broth, black eyed peas, smoked turkey leg, Creole seasoning, and bay leaf. Stir.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and seal. Cook for 30 minutes Manual > High Pressure.
- When the pot indicates it has finished, allow steam to release naturally for 10 minutes.
- Open lid, and remove the bay leaf and smoked turkey leg. Use 2 forks and shred the turkey and return it to the pot. Add salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Notes
•I find smoked turkey in the meat section of the grocery store.
•I eat with a big ol’ piece of cornbread!
•You can use smoked ham hocks if you can’t find the smoked turkey.
•To make these without an Instant Pot, soak the beans overnight. Add all of the ingredients to a large pot or Dutch oven. Cover and simmer on low for 3-4 hours until soft.
