Caveat: I am not Southern and until this year, I had never made hoppin' john. However, once I did, I fell in love with this dish. Instead of the traditional ham hock or bacon, I use a smoked turkey leg. Get the darkest one you can find for extra smokey flavor! I'm not sure how authentic this recipe is, but it's low on calories and fat and it's tasty and filling. I use mostly frozen ingredients, so it's also very easy to throw together. The trickiest part is removing the tendons from the turkey leg.

About one hour before serving, add rice to mixture and remove turkey leg to de-bone. Turkey leg tendons are tough, but slow cooking will make them easier to remove. Use a chef's knife to cut up the turkey and remove the skin, but you will need to use your fingers to separate the turkey from the tendons. Put the cut up meat back in the pot. Do *not* put the tendons, bone or skin back in the pot. Serve when rice is finished cooking.Makes 6 1.5 cup servings.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JENELOPE.
