I was excited to make this because I've never used dried beans before. Or turkey thighs. But mostly the beans.

What is WRONG with me? This had amazingness written all over it and I went and screwed it up. The flavor was awesome, but the beans would obviously never get tender enough no matter how long I crocked it because I forgot to add the broth. Surprisingly, most of the beans were edible. The ones around the edge were brown and crunchy, but most of the innards were softer.  I have to recrock this. AND stop forgetting things. Seriously. I wonder where my brain is sometimes.
