Really great recipe. The supermarket did not have ANY smoked turkey so I bought ham hocks and used 1. It's so good! Might try the hot pepper flakes next time. Update: Made this again with a smoked turkey wing this time and love the flavor as well, but watch out, it's really salty.

I'm an African American from the South, so I needed a collard green recipe that would not disappoint at the Thanksgiving table. This one was a hit and was very easy to prepare. Everyone loved them and made sure to take some to go. They were very well seasoned with the chicken broth, turkey leg and garlic. Only difference is that we bought the pre-washed Wal-Mart bags of collard greens, but still cooked them for the time outlined in this recipe. We used 4 bags with this recipe. Next time we can probably cut back and only use 3, because it made a whole lot.

These are the best the same way I always cook mine. Of course being southern, we sometimes add fat back or bacon for flavoring also. Also if you find you greens with just a little bitter taste, I learned this trick from my granmother add about1 TBSP honey, srupor brown sugar. People who usually complain about the bitterness witll eat it when I add the sweet. Thanks...

I tried these about 2 months ago which was my first time ever making collard greens. Let me tell you something them were the BEST collard greens I have ever taste! OMG they were sooooooo GOOD and flavorful. My entire family LOVED them and being in a black family collard greens are traditional at the dinner table. All you need to do is follow the recipe. That's it! The only thing I did different was cook them a little longer. Either or they were FABULOUS!!!

These are the best tasting collard greens I ever had. They were full of flavor. I didn't need seasoning. This recipe will be added to my holiday list.

I love collard greens. I followed the recipe but I added some mustard greens to it and "OH MY GOODNESS" they came so flavorful. My family eat the greens like they never had green before. I will make this part of my Sunday dinners line up.

Absolutely wonderful! I usually don't just LOVE vegetables of any kind, but these I ate without cornbread by the bowl full. Loved it!

These are the best greens I have ever eaten. Other than using smoked turkey necks instead of the drumstick, I followed the recipe exactly. You cannot go wrong on this one!

This was the 1st time I'd ever cooked collard greens. I sauteed a small chopped onion before adding 1 Tbsp (not 2) of garlic. It took quite a while to cook this but the smoked turkey drumstick added a nice flavor. I'd suggest tasting it at the end to see if you want to add any red pepper flakes &, if so, how much.

This recipe was wonderful. I was a little hesitant at first because the recipe was totally different from any collard greens that I have ever had, but my husband and I thought that these were great! Even my three year-old said, "these 'gweens' are good, mama!"

The greens were a huge hit. I purchased 1 bag of the precleaned/precut greens(still washed them anyway). Even my grandma commented on the greens, which means "I have arrived" !!!

I had never had collard greens before. After having them at a restaurant, I decided to try and make them at home. This recipe was fantastic. I even impressed some friends who grew up in North Carolina. (I live in Michigan) Made 8 servings for 5 people hoping to have left overs, but the bowl was empty at the end of dinner.
