Categories     Collard Greens

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb collard greens
1 lb kale
1 lb turnip greens
1 lb mustard greens
2 medium onions, chopped
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs turkey wings, smoked
salt, seasoned
fresh ground black pepper
2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Fill your kitchen sink with water and wash the greens well. As you lift the greens from the sink, any grit will fall to the bottom. Repeat if necessary.
  • Tear the greens into large pieces, and remove and discard tough stems. Place greens in a large bowl - do NOT drain in a colander.
  • In a large pot, combine the onions, 2 cups water, oil, and jalapenos (if using). Bring to the boil over high heat.
  • Gradually stir in the greens, letting one batch wilt before you add the next. Bury the turkey wing in the greens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the greens are tender, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove the turkey wing, discard the skin and bones. Chop the turkey meat and return to the pot.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the greens to a serving dish. Serve hot.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. The greens are so flavorful and tender, and the ham adds a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
