American Diabetes Association

Ingredients

  • 4 oz uncooked smoked turkey necks
  • 2 lbs collard greens (cleaned and chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • CARBOHYDRATE COUNT: 6g
  • Serving size = 3 oz, makes 14 servings

Directions

In a large stockpot or dutch oven, add 8 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add turkey necks and boil for 1 hour. Turkey meat should fall off the bones, and bones should be removed from the water.

Add collard greens, garlic, chicken broth, onion, and red pepper flakes to the pot with the water and turkey neck meat and stir to combine. If the pot is full, you can add greens half at a time until they reduce. Bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until greens are tender, about 1 hour. Add additional water if necessary.
