Tuscan Smoked Turkey-Bean Soup

Place beans into a large bowl, fill the bowl with water, and cover the bowl with a cloth. Allow to soak overnight.

Drain and rinse beans; place into a large soup pot. Add turkey legs, onion, and bay leaves to the pot, cover with water, then bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer for 3 hours.

Remove bay leaves and discard. Remove turkey legs from broth, separate meat from the bones and tendons, and return meat to broth.
