- In a large saucepan over medium high heat add the oil and onion then sauté until softened.
- Add the garlic and stir until fragrant; about 30 seconds.
- Add the stock, split peas, diced carrot, diced potatoes, soy sauce, basil, black pepper, parsley flakes, ground sage, salt and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.
- Add the smoked turkey legs and enough water to cover the peas and meaty part of the turkey legs by about 3cm.
- Bring to the boil then reduce heat and simmer covered until the peas have softened; about 45 minutes. Check from time to time to ensure the water level is still above the peas. If not add a little more water.
- Remove the turkey legs and the bay leaves. Discard the bay leaves. When the legs have cooled enough to handle; about 10 minutes. Remove the skin and bones from the turkey legs then shred or dice the meat into tiny pieces. Set aside.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup to your desired consistency. Alternately you can use a food processor or blender.
- Add the turkey meat back to the soup and stir to combine. Serve hot.
