My Mom said that these were really good. It was my first time attempting collard greens and I although I did not like them, I know that they tasted the way they were supposed to taste. I am very proud of myself for executing this recipe. I could not find a smoked turkey leg, so I added "a dash" of liquid smoke and that seemed to do the trick. My Mom is the big cooker in the house and if she liked them, they must be good.

This was a simple recipe. I let mine cook much longer (all day on the stove) as I like my greens cooked all the way down. I did add some vinegar and a very finely chopped white onion as well as a few banana peppers. The turkey leg and chicken stock are where it's at! thanks!

I've made these several times and they taste great each time. I do add some diced onions to the garlic for that extra punch. So easy to make but taste like you've worked over them all day. definitely a keeper!

Loved it! I substituted onion soup mix,3 buillion cubes and water in place of the stock, and use whatever smoked meat is available at the store. My family raved about these at Christmas dinner, and they have now become a regular at my table.

I made this recipe because of all the rave reviews and I must admit, that they are well deserved. This was my first attempt to make greens and they were absolutely delicious! The only modifications I made were: using 6 cups of chicken stock instead of 5, I also used 3 bags of pre-washed and cut greens, and instead of red pepper flakes I chopped about 4 jalapeños peppers to give it a little kick. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Very good! I didn't have a turkey drumstick so I used a few pieces of bacon. My husband who doesn't like collards actually ate these and loved them! I also topped with some Chow Chow Relish from Cracker Barrel - mmm mmm good!

I've always been nervous about attempting collard greens, but this recipe was easy and delicious! Instead of fresh greens, I used frozen and cooked in a crockpot on low for 10 hours. It was flavorful and made a great addition to the bean and vegetable soup we made the next day.

Having roots in the deep south, I must say the turkey surprised me... I had thought the only meat for greens was fatback or hamhocks a very nice change to say the least! I want to suggest for those who don't know, it's easier when chopping the whole leaves if you lay 4-5 leaves on top of each other and roll them up cigar-style and "slice" across about every 1/4 inch or so. We also add Louisiana Hot Sauce at the table to taste.

This was really good. I don't like mushy greens so I only cooked about 55 minutes. I also used ham because that's what I had on hand. Definitely make again.

These collard greens are the best! I used another reviewer's suggestion and added about 1 tbsp each of sugar and vinegar. Really helped to deliciously round out my "Southern Style Christmas dinner."

These were soooo good! I couldn't find a smoked turkey leg, so I seasoned and baked fresh legs in the oven, then poured the juices into the greens while cooking them. I then peeled the meat and put only that in the pot. For the greens I sauteed the onions in olive oil, then gradually added the greens sauteing them also... This is something a friend taught me and it makes them taste even better!

I added onions and garlic and crushed red pepper. The greens didn't need much seasoning after cooking. Try this, you'll be glad you did.
