Collards Amongst Smoked Turkey

Ingredients:
ii lb collard greens, shredded*
ii quarts chicken or turkey stock
iv cloves garlic, sliced
iii smoked turkey legs
ii onions, diced
ii bay leaves
1/2 loving cup apple tree cider vinegar
ii tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon crushed ruddy pepper flakes
salt
freshly the world dark pepper
1 1/2 lb bite-sized infant potatoes


Directions:

In a large (at to the lowest degree 8 quart) pot, rut the oil. Saute the onions, garlic, as well as bay leaves until the onions are soft but non browned, virtually 10 minutes. Add the broth, vinegar, turkey legs, salt, pepper, pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, skimming off anything that rises to the surface. Reduce rut as well as simmer 1 hour. Remove the turkey legs as well as selection off all of the meat. Reserve the meat, discard the bones.

Add the greens, supply to a boil. Stir therefore all of the greens are coated inward broth as well as starting to wilt. Reduce heat, add together the turkey meat dorsum inward as well as the potatoes. Cook for 1 lx minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

*I purchase mine pre-shedded. If this is unavailable to you, cutting them into 1/4 inch broad strips, spine (ribs) as well as all.

Yield: to a greater extent than or less 10 servings. Extras freeze well. (Honestly! I made this as well as wrote upward the postal service a span of weeks agone as well as merely had some for dinner yesterday--I merely seat the frozen greens inward a pan as well as simmered until warmed through. Tasted the same every bit the solar daytime I made them.)

My thoughts:

We made these greens the other solar daytime as well as when I Instagramed it, person asked for a recipe. I directed her to an before recipe I had made as well as therefore realized that I had made therefore many changes to it (different greens, unlike seasonings etc) that it actually entirely made feel to postal service a novel recipe showing what nosotros did. Plus that recipe was from July 2008, if y'all tin believe it, therefore it seemed agency overdue for a makeover. We however purpose smoked turkey legs instead of the to a greater extent than traditional ham hock because they are meatier as well as I intend easier to bargain alongside than hocks. I ever would teach some flake of os inward my greens (somehow! I am the princess as well as the pea but alongside bones as well as rocks when it comes to food) when I purpose ham hocks but never alongside turkey legs. Plus turkey legs (perhaps oddly?) look easier to honor hither inward Baltimore than ham hocks. We merely selection out the meatiest ones nosotros tin find. Sometimes they are therefore meaty, y'all tin serve these greens as well as guide maintain a consummate meal. I besides dear using turnip greens but since I constitute Maryland Style Fried Chicken but it actually goes alongside anything.
