How to Make Cajun Green Beans with Smoked Turkey – Southern Holiday Recipe

*Today, I’m bringing you a family classic that’s a must-have for Thanksgiving: Cajun Style Green Beans! 🥘🔥* This dish is a staple in my family during the holidays, and I’m putting a Cajun twist on it with smoked turkey and sausage. If you’ve never had Cajun-style green beans, you’re in for a treat—loaded with flavor and perfect for the holiday season!

*Ingredients:*
*2 lbs fresh green beans* (trimmed)
*1 smoked turkey leg* (to add rich, smoky flavor)
*1 lb smoked sausage* (sliced)
*3 medium potatoes* (peeled and cubed)
*2 tbsp olive oil* (or bacon fat for extra flavor)
*1 large onion* (diced)
*3 cloves garlic* (minced)
*1 stalk celery* (chopped)
*1 green bell pepper* (diced)
*1 red bell pepper* (diced)
*8 cups turkey stock*
*4 cups chicken stock*
*1/4 cup flour* (to thicken the sauce)
*1 tbsp Cajun seasoning* (paprika, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and chicken bouillon)
*Salt and pepper to taste*
*1 cup water*

*Step-by-Step Instructions:*

1. *Start by sautéing* the diced onion, garlic, and celery in olive oil (or bacon fat) over medium heat until they’re fragrant and translucent. This will build the base flavor for the dish.

2. *Add the green beans* to the sautéed veggies and stir everything together to coat the beans in the garlic and onion mixture.

3. *Incorporate the smoked turkey leg* by adding it to the pan, along with 8 cups of turkey stock and 4 cups of chicken stock. This combination of stocks will add deep, smoky richness to the dish.

4. *Let everything simmer* on low heat for 30-45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the turkey to release its smoky goodness into the broth.

5. *Add the cubed potatoes* after 30-45 minutes and let them cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until tender.

6. *Strain the green beans and potatoes* from the stock, but **reserve the stock**—you’re going to use it later for the Cajun sauce.

7. *Brown the smoked sausage* in a separate pan until it’s nicely caramelized. This will add an extra layer of flavor to the final dish.

8. **Create the Cajun sauce**: In the same pan where you browned the sausage, add 1/4 cup of flour to absorb the leftover fat and create a roux. Slowly add the reserved stock back into the pan, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

9. *Add the sautéed vegetables* (bell peppers, celery) back into the pot along with the browned sausage, green beans, and potatoes.

10. *Season everything* with 1 tbsp of Cajun seasoning (paprika, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and chicken bouillon) and stir well to incorporate. Add 1 cup of water if needed to thin out the sauce.

11. *Let it all simmer* together for about 10 more minutes so the flavors fully come together.

12. *Serve it up!* This Cajun-style green bean dish is loaded with flavor from the smoked turkey, sausage, and all those Cajun spices. It’s perfect for a holiday gathering or any time you want a hearty, flavorful side dish!
