How to cook deliciously - Creamy Southern Lima Beans

1. Stage

Pick over the dry beans: Pick over the beans, removing any dirt or debris. Rinse the beans in a colander; drain.

2. Stage

Cook the beans: Place the beans, onion, garlic cloves, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, bay leaf, and turkey wings in a large Dutch oven or pot.  Add the stock. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.  Once it starts to boil, decrease the heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid.  Simmer for up to 2 hours or until the beans are tender to your liking. Make sure to stir the mixture a few times while cooking for a creamier sauce.
