serves: 6
  Red beans and rice with smoked sausage and seasonings.
Ingredients:
  1 Pound   Dried Red Beans
  1 1/2 Pounds   Turkey Smoked Sausage
  1 Cup   Onion, chopped
  1 Tbsp   Garlic, minced
  1 tsp   Dried Thyme
  1 tsp   Black Pepper
  1/2 tsp   Sage
  1/8 tsp   Cayenne Pepper
    Salt to Taste
Directions:
  Soak beans overnight in cold water. Drain and put the beans in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add fresh water to cover, along with the sausage and ham, onion, garlic, thyme, pepper, sage, and cayenne. Bring to boil over medium high heat.
Reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer until beans are tender, adding more water if necessary to keep them from drying out. This will take 2 to 3 hours. Add salt to taste. Discard ham bones. Remove about 1/4 cup of beans from mixture and mash; return to Dutch oven and stir. Simmer 15 more minutes.

Serve over hot rice.
