8 c. water
1 tsp. white pepper
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
1 med. Onion

2 pkgs. turkey sausage
1 T. sea salt or Creole seasoning (season to taste)
1 or 2 bay leaves

Approx. 1 T. marjoram

Soak beans in about 8 cups of water overnight. In morning, pour beans in to a strainer to drain and rinse. Then place in Dutch oven with 8 cups of water. Add a salt or Creole seasoning, white pepper, onion, bell pepper, onion tops, cayenne pepper, bay leaves, ketchup, marjoram and turkey bacon (tear in pieces). Meanwhile, separately in skillet, cook 2 packs of turkey sausages, sliced. When thoroughly cooked, pour the entire thing, including drippings, into beans. Bring to a boil, then turn down halfway between low and medium or a little less for about 2 hours or until beans are tender. When cooked, get about ½ cup of the beans and smash, then add back into beans. Serve over rice.
