Steps:
- 1. Add Turkey legs to a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil, then lower heat and cook till turkey legs are tender, and begin to pull away from the bone.
- 2. Remove turkey legs from pot to a large platter and allow to cool. Then remove bones, & splinters, and then chop into bite size pieces.
- 3. Add greens to pot, along with spices, sugar, & vinegar, and additional chicken stock or water as needed. Cover with lid and return to boil, then lower heat to a simmer, and continue to cook as desired, about 1 hour or more as desired.
- 4. Add the cooked Turkey back into the pot & cook about 1/2 hour or longer as desired.
- 5. Now add the chopped onions, & minced garlic, & continue to cook.
- 6. Add butter as desired, and stir till melted.
- 7. Serve with your favorite condiments, and Corn Bread, if desired. I served mine with my own Canned Pickled Okra.
