- 120 minutes to make
- Serves 6
Momma used to use fat back or hog jowl, I've borrowed a tip from weight loss experts and substitute smoked turkey necks or wings for flavor and cut the fat.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lbs. of collard greens shopping list
- 1 tbsp of canola oil shopping list
- 1 large onion chopped shopping list
- 5 cloves of garlic chopped shopping list
- 2 to 3 smoked turkey wings shopping list
- 2 cups of water shopping list
- 1 teaspoon of salt shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes shopping list
- 2 slices of Canadian bacon diced shopping list
- 1 tbsp. of red wine vinegar shopping list
How to make it
- Wash greens well.
- Remove any tough stems.
- Cut into shreds.
- Heat oil in large soup pot, heavy bottom.
- Add onion and turkey wings, cook five minutes.
- Add garlic and hands full of collards.
- Using tongs keep turning the wilted greens from the bottom to the top to cook evenly.
- When the greens are mostly wilted, add water and seasonings (except the canadian bacon and vinegar), turn the heat to very low and cook for two hours.
- Remove the wings from the pot. Discard
- Serve family style in a large bowl, top with vinegar and bacon.

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...more

I love any type of green. I actually buy the canned and have them for lunch or a snack.. I will give the turkey a try, but I love my bacon..
