Ingredients
Serves: 14
Serving Size: 3 ounces
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 2 hours
- 4 ounces uncooked smoked turkey necks
- 2 pounds cleaned and chopped collard greens
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 packets (1 tablespoon) salt-free instant chicken bouillon
- 4 medium garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
- Put 2 quarts water in a large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the turkey necks. Boil for 1 hour. The meat should fall off the bones. Remove the bones from the water.
