    The turkey wings may have some shreds of meat, but I totally dislike the way the skin turkey gets all flabby in the pot likker. I don't like the texture and while it goes against my grain to not use every blessed scrap, I don't like picking the wings. Of course, hog jowl is best.

    Wouldn't the turkey wings have at least a serving of meat on them?

    Dad was all worried about his fiber. Making him a high fiber dinner with these lovely collards, black Eyed Peas and corn bread to go as a side for a pork loin roast. Excellent Excellent tina thanks.

    LOL, Chefmal, I don't discard as in garbage can, we discard by putting in the frig for eating privately (as in sucking the bones clean). We make the greens on New Year's Day every year and generally have lots of company and "ahem" we save the good parts (turkey parts) for ourselves and let our guests eat the flavored greens. When my mom made these of course, we had the layer of bacon grease and a hunk of hog jowl sitting in those greens all day. But since my hubby's heart attack, I'm trying to be a better cook for him. Have a great day and give them a try and let me know how they turn out!!

    Yeah, seriously. I'd end up frying up the bacon in the pot first to leave a layer of grease for a fatty base instead of the oil, then add onions, caramelize a bit, then turkey. Gawd, this sounds good. But why would you discard the turkey? In my house, we don't waste. I even scoop out chicken fat off congealed soups to use for shortening in matzoh balls.
    I will try these collards one day, mark my words.
