Spicy Beans with Turkey Sausage

If you are looking for something hearty, filling, healthy and easy try this. I found it a long time ago in a Readers Digest and just tried it last week. Don't let the spicy part scare you off, I used hot salsa and it wasn't very hot, and you could just use mild salsa. We loved it, and it uses my very favorite kitchen tool-the crock pot!

Marie

1 lb. smoked turkey sausage, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2 inch slices

1 can (16 oz) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (16 oz) great northern beans, rinsed and drained

1 can(16 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 1/2 cups frozen corn

1 1/2 cups salsa

1 large green pepper, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

1/2 to 1 cup water or more (enough to fill cooker at least halfway)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp ground cumin

Combine all ingredients in a 5 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 5 to 6 hours until meat is tender. Stir before serving.
