Ingredients

2 pounds collard greens (3 bundles)

1 turkey leg (pre-cooked/smoked (this ingredient is optional)

1 cup yellow onion (diced)

2 cups tomatoes (diced)

4 cups chicken stock (use vegetable stock to make vegan and vegetarian-friendly)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon hot sauce (or sriracha sauce)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (or Cajun or Creole seasoning)

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Clean the collard greens, stack several leaves on top of each other, and cut off the stems.

Roll the leaves up lengthwise, tightly like a cigar. Using a knife or kitchen shears, cut the rolled collard greens into half-inch ribbon strips.

Add the smoked turkey leg, onion, red pepper flakes, and chicken stock to a large stockpot over medium heat.

Cover the pot with the lid and simmer for 1 hour.

Then, add the collard greens, tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, hot sauce, garlic, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Stir to combine the ingredients. (The collards will wilt down as they cook.)

Cover the pot with the lid and simmer for 2 hours.
