Pot O'Greens
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2005

Ingredients
1 quart water
1 1/2 pounds smoked turkey legs
2 pounds stemmed collard or turnip greens
1 teaspoon salt, plus extra if desired
1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions
Place the water and turkey legs in an 8-quart pot over
medium-high heat. Cover, bring to a boil, and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.

In the meantime, remove any large stems from the greens and wash them thoroughly;

do so in a sink with at least 5 inches of water. Moving the leaves around in the
water and allowing them to sit for a few minutes to allow the sand or dirt to fall
to the bottom of the sink. Once clean, chop pieces in half. You should have 2
pounds of greens once they are stemmed. (Weigh the greens after stemming, but
before washing.)

Once the turkey legs have simmered for 10 minutes, add the greens, salt and sugar,
reduce the heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer gently for 45 minutes or until
the greens are tender. Move the greens around every 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and
season with additional salt, if desired. Serve immediately.
