A comforting Southern-style dish where hearty greens are slowly braised with smoky turkey for deep, savory flavor. Perfect as a side or main course.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound smoked turkey leg or wing
• 8 cups chopped mixed greens (collard, mustard, turnip)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
2. Add smoked turkey and chopped greens. Pour in chicken broth, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, until greens are tender and turkey is falling off the bone.
4. Remove turkey from pot. Let cool slightly, then shred meat, discarding bones and skin. Return shredded turkey to pot.
5. Stir in apple cider vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.

Tips

• For a thicker potlikker, simmer uncovered for the last 15 minutes.
• Serve with cornbread or over rice.
• Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
