Instructions

1 Remove the stems from the greens and cut into 2-3 inch strips. Wash thoroughly
and repeatedly. I wash mine 3 times.
2 Rinse the turkey legs or ham hocks and add to a large pot with 10 cups of water.
Add the bullion and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
3 Add the greens and enough extra water if needed to cover. Add the rest of the
ingredients. Simmer on low for about 2 hours or until very tender but not mushy.
Remove the meat and bones and shred a little of the meat and add it back. Taste
the greens and liquid and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve warm. Store in
an airtight container in the fridge or freeze for later use.
