I was actually going to use another “collard greens” recipe but could not find it in my saved items when I was ready to cook them. By the time I realized that I couldn’t find the recipe I had already cooked the smoked turkey. ( I used a turkey drum stick as I do not like to sort through turkey neck bones.) I cooked the greens then added the cooked smoked turkey toward the end. I mixed the apple cider vinegar in toward the end of cooking the collards. My tweeked recipe was truly the bomb.com!!!
I added garlic with the onions and I had a smoked turkey leg that I used instead of a wing….Yummy
My dad always had a big vegetable garden when I was growing up and collards was a favorite even when I was young. He fixed it simply without complex spices. I like to find recipes that remind me of the days of self grown vegetables. (It’s impossible for me to grow anything in the rocks/soil in my yard!) This was a fabulous recipe using a humble vegetable. The addition of the smoked turkey wing gave it a whole new complexity. Sooo good with a pepper vinegar sauce. I know my dad would have loved it too.
Made this for New Years day with blackeyed peas. Yummy !! I cooked the wings first and when they were almost tender I added the collard greens. Didn’t have a lot and I didn’t want them to cook away.
Love this recipe, it’s very tasty, smoky and soulful. Going to make this my own.
Best I ever had (except for my Mom’s)
This recipe was absolutely delicious and very easy to make.
