Tips
- Mix collard and mustard greens as grandmas used to do.
- Wash greens in the sink with salt and cold water to remove dirt.
- Remove the stem from the greens by pulling it off with your hands.
- The turnip bottom and rutabaga are similar and can be used interchangeably; they are slightly sweet and peppery.
- The turkey meat will create its own stock, so no extra stock is needed.
- Add vinegar and sugar to soften greens and cut through any bitter taste.
