Turkey and Butter Bean Cassoulet

Turkey and butter bean cassoulet

 This was the easiest meal I've made in a long time and it was delicious! You've got to try it. I made it with chicken legs because I don't care for turkey too much but you can use whatever you have. Breast, thighs, legs will all work just fine!
