This was a very hearty and satisfying dish. I could eat this every day! YUM!
Trying this recipe rates among one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!!The explosion of flavor when I tasted my first bite was like seeing sunshine after a thunderstorm..I would recommend this to anyone…simply delicious
Amazing!!!
This has been one of my favourite recipes. Amazing flavours!! I love every ingredient. It’s one of those dishes that takes a bit of time to cook, but is pretty easy to get it right because it just relies on a great combination. I use fresh greens and just dump them in a bit earlier. Depending on the availability of ingredients, sometimes I use chicken drums and thighs and sometimes I skip the okra.
iI made this out of sight recipe today for me and a friend and we both just LOVED IT!! In fact I doubled it. To make it go further, I used the turkey wing parts.
It took a little longer to cook, but that was A-OK. This is truley a keeper!!! Thank you both for a great southern, down home dish.
LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!

Torture in a good way! It is simmering on the stove waiting for supper and I can’t keep my spoon out of the pot!
I did not “french” the legs since I think it would have taken me a day and half. I whacked on one for a while and said forget it. No problem!
I did not measure the veggies… just used the entire sweet potato, the okra I had, the entire can of drained “Margaret Holmes” collard greens, and lots more chicken stock than the 3 cups….probably more like 9 cups. I also used the entire link of sausage just because my hubby is a meat lover.
The dish taste fabulous. I think we will dish it out tonight over rice. I will also offer tortillas if wanted.
Yum!!
We loved this meal. Fresh ginger is very flavorful and warming, lots of great vegetables, and it is very easy to make. The only downside is that it can be a little messy to eat turkey off of the shanks since this is more like a stew. Overall, it’s a great dish and I would make this again!
This recipe was not meant to be changed. It waorks great as it is. I have made it for my family which includes a five year old to 52 yrs old. Everyone loves it. I have also made it for a potluck at work, since it is a lot and goes a long way. They all loved it. I will continue to make this as a regular dish in our house. Thank you
We all enjoyed this dish. It was great. And the kids enjoyed using the bread to take the food from the bowl and eat with their fingers. It on our list of favorites.
I am sorry Paula…I normally love your recipes but I didn’t care for this one at all…I made this recipe with chicken legs and thighs and no one cared for it….sorry.
