Instructions
- 1 Place beans into a large bowl, fill the bowl with water, and cover the bowl with a cloth. Allow to soak overnight.
- 2 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.
- 3 Remove bay leaves and discard. Remove turkey legs from broth, separate meat from the bones and tendons, and return meat to broth.
- 4 Stir in celery, carrots, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; simmer until celery and carrots are tender, about 1 hour.
- 5 Serve soup in bowls and sprinkle each serving with about 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese.
