• Remove the smoked meat bones from the pot, let them cool just enough so you can handle them. With gloved hands or a fork, pick the meat from the bones and add it back to the greens. Taste and adjust.
• When the greens are perfectly seasoned and balanced, serve and enjoy.

SOUTHERN COLLARD GREENS WITH SMOKED TURKEY LEG AND ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the garlic on a 6-by-6-inch piece of foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Wrap the garlic in the foil and roast until the garlic is softened and fragrant, about 45 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
• Add the butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook until the butter is melted. Add the onions, season with salt and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the turkey leg and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the stock, add a few grinds black pepper and bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes.
• Once simmering, add the collard greens to the Dutch oven, stirring to rotate the greens from the bottom to the top. Add 2 cups of water, leaving the collards fully submerged. Cover and cook until the liquid has almost completely evaporated and the turkey leg is tender, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. Add water if needed to keep the collards simmering.
• Lower the heat, remove the turkey leg and set aside to cool slightly. Stir in the hot sauce and honey. Remove the garlic from the foil and squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins over the collards. Use a fork to shred the meat from the turkey leg; return the meat and skin to the collards. Season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from the heat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the collards to a serving dish and serve immediately with your favorite hot sauce if desired.

LOWCOUNTRY COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• Tear the greens from their stems. Take a handful of greens, roll them up lengthwise and slice them into bite-size pieces. Add the sliced greens to an empty, clean sink full of cool water and wash them, removing all grit, sand and debris. Drain sink and rinse greens thoroughly with cold water until water becomes clear.
• Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add 4 cups of water to the pot. (This will become your potlikker.) Turn the heat to medium-high. Add the cleaned greens by the handful, stirring them until wilted before adding more.
• Add the smoked turkey, bouillon cubes, garlic and onion powders, apple cider vinegar, black pepper and red-pepper flakes to the pot. Bring to a rolling boil, then cover and lower heat to medium-low. Cook until greens are completely tender, at least 2 hours. Most of the water should have evaporated by this point, with just enough left to cover the bottom of the pot, and the meat should pull away from the bones.
• Take the meat out of the pot, transfer to a cutting board, and shred the meat with two forks. Add the shredded meat back to the pot and stir until well combined. Taste and adjust salt, pepper and onion powder as needed. To cut bitterness, add sugar; if you'd like more tang, add more vinegar. Serve hot.

• While the mixture comes to a boil, melt butter in a small pan over medium-high heat. Saute leeks and garlic in the hot butter until garlic is lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add to the pot of water.
• Cut collard leaves in half and stir into the boiling mixture. Add cooked turkey bacon and cook over high heat for 30 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until greens are tender and flavors have melded, about 1 hour.
• Serve hot with or without some of the juice, adding more salt and pepper to taste.
