(ignore the cat scratches on my face, we have a mean one)

Here's what's in mine:

1 yellow bell pepper
1 celery stalk with leaves
1 red onion, all veggies chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 smoked kielbasa sausage, sliced 1/4inch thick
3 cans crowder peas, drained
3 cups turkey broth
1 bag of frozen turnip greens
garlic powder, dried savory leaves, red pepper flakes, salt, & black pepper(all to taste)
1 pound brown rice,

Here's what I did with it:

Softened the veggies in about 2tbsp butter.  Cooked rice as per instructions on bag with no salt or butter/oil, set aside.  Cooked turnip greens in turkey broth for about 20 minutes.  Added kielbasa to veggies and cooked about 10 minutes.  Added greens, broth, seasonings, and peas to veggies.  Simmered for about an hour.  Served over rice.  Pigged out.
