Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 pound turkey bacon, diced
  • 1 cup sliced yellow onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 pound collard, mustard, or beet green leaves, or a combination
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Heat a large, 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil to the pan, and when hot, add the bacon in the pan and cook, stirring often, until the bacon is well browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the onions to the pan and cook, stirring often, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the greens to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute. Add the water and salt and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the greens are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the lid, and raise the heat to medium-high, and continue to cook until most of the liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes. Taste and re-season the greens, if necessary.

    These greens are so tasty! Almost as good as my moms ; I will be making this again in a few days for Christmas dinner--I love that the recipe calls for turkey bacon and doesn't loose any of the flavor. After tasting it we added some vinegar and that made it even better. Also, we like our greens spicy so we added red pepper flakes in as well.

    I used all beet greens and this recipe turned out delicious. Super yummy and mild. I might add a little bit of cider vinegar or lemon juice.

    I made this using all collard greens and some nice thick smoked bacon instead of the turkey bacon... sure, higher fat, but it was delicious.
