One of my family tradition since I was born was to have black eyed peas on New Year's Day. It symbolizes good luck for the New Year. This is my twist on black eyed peas instead of using ham hock I used Italian Chicken sausage and smoke turkey a more healthier option. Bon Appétit !

1 Smoke turkey Wing or leg
3 Italian chicken sausages, sliced inch thick
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 garlic clove
1/2 chopped green pepper
