1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 pound thick cut deli sliced smoked turkey, diced

1 medium onion, chopped

8 cups mixed dark greens: dandelion, mustard, chard, kale – cook's choice, coarsely chopped

Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons cider vinegar, 2 good splashes

2 teaspoons sugar

A few dashes hot sauce

1 to 1 1/2 cups beer or chicken stock

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and butter. When butter melts into extra-virgin olive oil, add smoked turkey and caramelize meat, a couple of minutes on each side. Add onions and cook 3 to 4 minutes more. Wilt greens into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook and toss the greens a minute or 2 more then add the vinegar – lean back – sugar and hot sauce. Cook off vinegar for a minute then add beer or stock, enough to coat the pan and loosen up greens in liquid. Reduce heat to medium low. Simmer greens 10 to 15 minutes until no longer bitter.

The Best
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best greens recipe I have made, truly. It was easy to make, had great flavor, and leftovers keep extremely well.... If I would make any changes, I would add a bit more of the greens. Another delish dish from Rachel!Read more

Not that great
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I enjoy my mom's preparation of greens like kale much more. She cooks them in a big pot with potatoes and turkey sausage and... salt and pepper and that's really about it. I didn't care for the sugar in this, it just gave it an odd flavor and the hot sauce made the smoked turkey cubes turn an odd shade of pink that I didn't care for. But I went heavy on the hot sauce because I like spicy food...needless to say it still wasn't that spicy.Read more

This recipe was a chance for my family who are picky eaters. My husband loved it and the kids at least eat a few bites. Very... good and easy to prepare! It's something different to try.Read more

Delicious Greens
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A different approach to boiling greens and not the traditional mix. This dish was easy to prepare and tasted very good!

Awesome!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I doubled the recipe, used 1 lb turkey breast (I bought rotisserie turkey already cooked). I sauteed onions in evoo first... until wilted and then added butter and turkey cubes. Let that cook. I used two HUGE bunches of swiss chard, one green, one red. I started cutting the greens, and just kept adding greens, letting it cook down, adding more greens, more greens, and even more greens! Almost 20 cups! I used white wine vinegar (fancy kind) and hot sauce, and the sugar... and then BEER! Cooked that baby down pat (I took out a lot of the greens and let the liquid reduce)..... let meeeee teeeeelllll yoooooouuuuu... oh baby!! I never had greens so yummy and sooooo goooooood!!!Read more
