Collard Greens Recipe

Looking for a great side dish to dress up your holiday table? Choose collard greens for a delicious Southern touch. Collard greens are part of the cabbage family and are a staple in Southern and Creole cooking. They're traditionally slow cooked with a ham hock for flavor, but this recipe uses smoked turkey leg, which is easier to find in grocery stores.

What You Need:

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 bunches collard greens, rinsed and chopped into 1” pieces
• 1 cooked smoked turkey leg or 6 slices bacon cooked and chopped (use ham hock if you can find it)
• ½ sweet yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 3 cups gluten-free chicken broth
• 1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced (use a glove when handling and don’t touch your eyes)
• 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar (suggest Bragg’s unfiltered)
• Salt and pepper to taste
