This classic Quebecois soup gets new life with the addition of smoked turkey instead of the traditional ham hock. Look for smoked turkey thighs instead of the legs - they've got more meat and less sinew. You can find them near the deli counter at the grocery store.

Ingredients
Method
In slow cooker, combine carrots, celery, onion, split peas, bay leaves, clove, garlic powder, savory, salt, pepper and 6 cups water. Arrange turkey over top. Cover and cook on high until peas and turkey are tender, about 4 hours.
Transfer turkey to large bowl; let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, remove bay leaves and clove from slow cooker. Using immersion blender, purée soup until almost smooth.
Remove and discard bone and fat from turkey. Using 2 forks, shred into bite-size pieces; stir into soup.
