Best Collards ever Recipe Large smoked Turkey Leg One onion cut on quarters Two garlic heads washed, tops cut off Use a big pot, add above ingredients and cover with water. Boil until turkey leg meat gets tender. Remove the bone pins and all bones. After all bones are removed, add seasoning: Add seasonings: 2.5 tablespoons chicken bouillon Red chile flakes to taste 2 tablespoons sugar Black pepper to taste 2 tablespoons vinegar Now add greens and cover with a lid: Add 4 pounds of clean chopped collard greens ( I started with 2 pounds, then added 2 more pounds ) Simmer all day. If you don’t cook your greens long enough, they’ll taste bitter. Mine cooked 6-7 hours. Stir occasionally, make sure you have enough water. When the greens are super tender, I like to separate the greens from the broth. I freeze the broth for a soup base or cooking another batch of greens. Tips if the collards taste bitter: 1) Cook a very long time - 6 plus hours 2) Adding more sugar and vinegar Or - 3) Blanch the greens and toss the water. Use Fresh water, add the turkey leg, your seasonings and boil. Collard greens are an all day affair, but so worth it! #bestcollards, #collardswithsmokedturkey #tendercollards
