POT O'GREENS
Smoked turkey legs and a touch of sugar bring sweet and smoky flavor to these classic Southern-style collard greens. My favorite smoke-injection system for a pot of collards is smoked turkey legs, which are surprisingly simple to make (but also available at most megamarts). They impart just the right amount of smoky goodness without overwhelming the natural flavor of the greens, and they contribute a fair amount of collagen, which of course breaks down into gelatin to provide considerable lip-smacking body. Make sure to weigh the greens after stemming, but before washing. This recipe first appeared in Season 8 of Good Eats.Photo by Lynne Calamia

Steps:
- Place the water and turkey legs in an 8-quart pot over medium-high heat. Cover, bring to a boil, and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, remove any large stems from the greens and wash them thoroughly in a sink filled with at least 5 inches of water. Move the leaves around in the water, then let them sit for a few minutes to allow any sand or dirt to fall to the bottom of the sink. Once clean, chop pieces in half. You should have 2 pounds of greens once they are stemmed. (Weigh the greens after stemming, but before washing.)
- Once the turkey legs have simmered for 10 minutes, add the greens, salt, and sugar, reduce the heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer gently until the greens are tender, about 45 minutes, stirring the greens every 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and season with additional salt, if desired. Remove the turkey legs and save for another use or shred into the greens, if desired. Serve immediately.
COLLARD GREENS WITH SMOKED TURKEY WINGS
Steps:
- Saute onions and garlic in oil until soft and add turkey wing. Add chicken stock and chopped or torn greens. As greens cook down, add water as needed and season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Cook until tender, about 45 minutes. Serve with vinegar on the side.
BRAISED TURNIP GREENS
Bitter greens like turnips are rich in flavor, and the smoky turkey wings in this recipe take them to the next level. Create your own stock from the smoked turkey to double down on flavor of the finished wings.

Steps:
- Place the turkey wings in a 3-quart saucepan and add enough water to just cover them, about 5 cups. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that forms on the surface. Reduce to a simmer and let cook, uncovered, 1 1/2 hours. Strain the wings and remove the meat from the bones and set aside; discard the bones. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the broth; save the remaining broth for another use.
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper and cook 1 minute more. Add turnip greens in batches, allowing each batch to wilt and stirring to distribute before adding the next batch.
- Once all the greens are added, stir in the vinegar, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Return the turkey to the pot along with the reserved broth. Reduce the heat to low, cover and let simmer until the greens are very tender, about 40 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and render until you have enough fat to saute the garlic and onions. Add the garlic and onions and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the pinch red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute more. Add the greens in handfuls, adding more as the greens start to wilt, tossing with tongs until all the greens are wilted down. Add the chicken stock and cover. Cook until the greens are tender, about 10 minutes.
LOWCOUNTRY COLLARD GREENS
Collard greens, a staple of Southern cuisine, are often cooked down with smoked turkey or pork neck bones. The greens form a potlikker, or broth, full of briny, smoky flavor. When braised with smoked meat, they're equally delicious as a side or a light one-pot meal. The longer the greens cook, the better they'll be. Top them with a generous dash or two of hot sauce, and pair with cornbread. What tomato soup is to grilled cheese, potlikker is to cornbread.

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.
SMOKED TURKEY
This is an easy to make recipe. I've tried numerous others using colas, fancy pans, etc., but none come out near as good as this. Keeping it simple is the best way. Be sure to use a high-quality charcoal, so that it will burn for a long time. Turkey will be moist tender and smoky!

Steps:
- Place the charcoal into the bottom pan of the smoker. Light the coals and wait for the temperature of the smoker to come to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C). Lightly oil grate.
- Rinse turkey under cold water, and pat dry. Place hickory chips into a pan with water to cover.
- Place turkey onto the prepared grate. Add 2 handfuls damp chips at start of cooking, then a handful every couple of hours during the cooking process. Leave the lid on - DO NOT keep looking at the turkey, or you will let the heat out! Continue smoking until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), or keep going until the coals die out.

SMOKED TURKEY BRAISED GREENS (RECIPE COURTESY RACHAEL RAY)
Try the Smoked Turkey Braised Greens for a down-home comfort food taste. In the southern regions of the USA, we love greens like collards and kale. Unfortunately I was raised like most good southern girls to boil those greens to death. This recipe shows you a new technique for getting succulent greens without losing the nutrients from boiling. I made these greens for Christmas dinner using smoked ham instead of turkey and -- wow!!! It was out of this world good! My husband Keith hates collards but he had a third helping of these AND I caught him nibbling in the kitchen later that night! Enjoy!
