This Healthy Baked Beans Recipe makes the best baked beans I've ever had–it's an old family recipe that I've lightened up a bit with ground turkey, various beans, and a homemade pork and beans recipe instead of the canned stuff.
Dice and cook the onions in a large pan. ¾ cup onion
Add ground turkey to the onions in the pan. 1 pound ground turkey
While they turkey and onions are cooking, add all of the other ingredients to a large baking dish. 1 can baked beans, 1 can kidney beans, 1 can black beans, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon dry mustard, 2 teaspoons vinegar, ⅓ cup ketchupI drain the liquid out of the beans, then set the liquid aside in case beans look dry after cooking.
When meat and onions are cooked, drain if necessary and add the mixture to your baking dish and mix well.
Cook at 350 degrees for an hour. If using a smoker, you can cook them in there for an hour–the flavor is delicious!
Instant Pot Instructions
Sauté the meat and onions using the sauté function. Add 1/2 cup water. 1 pound ground turkey, ¾ cup onion
