Ingredients
Directions
Special equipment:
a slow cooker- In a large slow cooker set to low, then add the onion, garlic, peppercorns, chile, turkey wings, collards and enough stock to cover. Top with a sheet of parchment larger than the slow cooker, then place the lid over the top of that. Cook, removing the lid and parchment a couple of times to stir and then covering back up, until tender, 8 to 10 hours.
- Remove the parchment, then remove the wings and shred any meat off the bones. Discard the skin and bones. Add the meat back to the slow cooker. Add a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and taste. Add more if needed to balance. (You shouldn't taste the vinegar; it should just lift the flavor a bit.) Serve with a shake of hot sauce, optional.
Cook’s Note
If using smoked turkey necks instead of wings, place them in a turkey baking bag and tie a knot to seal. Use a pair of scissors or a knife to poke small holes in the bag so the liquid of the slow cooker can exchange flavors with the smoked turkey neck. When done cooking, slowly lift and discard the bag or wait until it cools and remove the meat from the bones and return the meat to the pot. There's significantly less meat on the neckbone, so I often do not care to retain any of it. The flavor is all you really need.
