I washed mine leaf by leaf under running water then I take the big part of stem off rolled n cut then I wash again in sink of water then I drain them n into a pot of turkey necks they go along w/onion-a piece of hot red pepper little olive oil❤️

[@tankster5826]

@dorothyhardy4656.Turkey necks low fat and healthy. I don’t do all that saturated fat and oil. If I did roux I’d probably just lighty toast the flour dry without oil. I’d cook my veggies in as little oil as possible and add the toasted flour into the cooking liquid.

[@Wolfy459.]

AB!!! I made this. Followed the recipe ALMOST to the T...I used smoked turkey legs. This was amazing ! Can not thank you enough for your recipies! I also smoked beef dino ribs from your video and my friends all want them all the time! $$$$! I make them buy them now ! Glad to smoke them all night! IDK how to attach a picture or I would. Looks, smells and taste incredible! Keep on sharing!

[@raganelle4830]

Yum! What about saving the shrimp shells and onion skins and cooking them with the turkey tails....so you can pick them afterwards...flavor on flavor.

[@alireid5874]

Made these for my husband. He asked if I was trying to get him to marry me again 😂 I cooked mine in the instant pot. I did shredded collards for 15 mins w/ quick release, then 10 min saute. Added the shrimp after it stopped bubbling. I would watch the sodium content of the broth. I used Better than bouillon low sodium, but used less than recommended. I also used more like 1/4 cup flour/oil for roux. If using the instant pot, you still need to boil the smoked turkey separately to shred and add to the pot. Use that water for as your liquid/broth. I used turkey necks, which worked out without pre-boil, but larger cuts (wings, drums) would need more cook time. Btw, my husband's family (mom's side) is from New Orleans 🎉 I did add a few pieces of okra and some file'

New subscriber here! I’m mopping the floor under the table from my mouth waterin’. Thanks for your cooking and sharing! My grilling husband graduated to heaven last year and I should’ve been watching and learning. I almost burnt up his grill the first time I tried using it before looking up how to on KZbin University. Now, Professor AB, I’m taking notes and I’m gonna graduate one day. I’ll be 66 the day after Christmas this year, but you’re never too old to learn stuff. Right? 😉

I'm a Louisiana girl and I've never thought about adding greens into my gumbo but you made it look so good! Definitely going to give this a try.

Dear AB. As a true Cajun raised here in the heart of Cajun Country, Cuisine, & Culture. AKA Lafayette Louisiana. Family tree traced back to the Acadians from Nova Scotia … I can tell you that we have never heard of this recipe before. HOWEVER!!! However I will definitely try this one. This looks so good.

AB, STOP, I am all over this one! After all these years I'm still learning 80 plus years! Still cooking, and this is FIRE!! Keep bringing these great great variations to old recipes!

[@MsBRANDY007]

You leveled those Gumbo Collard Greens ALL THE WAY UP!! Another easy way to de-stem greens is to hold the top of the stem, with your other hand, place it around where the green starts, make your fingers in the OK gesture👌🏾, grip tightly and just pull down. Easy-peasy!

[@shanachambers1206]

They have those herb strippers you could use too.

[@vernicedanna5346]

So I had never heard of gumbo greens , and wasn't a fan of collards, but these greens looked amazingly good. Well I headed to the store and bought my ingredients. Following all of ABs instructions I made the most delicious dish of greens ever! My hubby ate 3 bowls....yea!!!. Thanks Chef for enhancing my cooking skills and getting me a big ole STAR with the hubby.

[@marthascott2751]

I love your cooking lessons. I learned a lot. Never had greens b4, till I married my husband and my MIL (RIP) showed me how to make it. I think she’s from Louisiana. Loved me some greens. Thank you

[@micacook5438]

I've never added shrimp, but I have added blackeyed peas. Great for a New Year meal.

This is a Louisiana /Creole tradition! I love making this dish! Thanks for sharing!

My guy!!! First let me say I've been watching you for a sec now and learn a lot. Second is that I make great greens and didn't want to try something new for the first time for Thanksgiving. I was intimidated lol. But I did it!! I used smoked pork neck bones and your shrimp gumbo greens recipe came out great! Best greens I ever made. Your ingredients and video made it really easy! Oh I make my black eyed peas for New years the same way you made your navy beans......but I use smoked pork lol. Thank you for this my guy.

[@nikperk78able]

This recipe is incredibly delicious! Made it last night and it is ON POINT as written. You did ya thing AB!!!

[@aprilshowers00]

Made this for Christmas 2025 it was a hit! Added lumb crab meat, and did a mix of collards and purple mustard greens it was delicious 🤤 forgot to cook the rice it wasn't even missed or needed lol definitely gonna be in heavy rotation this winter 🙏🏾 thanks AB

[@xMissZexiiax]

I made these with Collard, Turnip, Mustard Greens and Kale and they turned out so good 10/10 💯🔥❤

I did gumbo greens with turkey necks, shrimp and andouille chicken sausage for Thanksgiving this past week. Oh my God!! They were so flavorful and tender. 🥰🥰🤤

I made these for Christmas dinner and they turned out perfectly!! Absolutely delicious!! This was my first time trying one of your recipes and I’m very pleased and everyone loves the gumbo greens I made. 😊😊

[@Only60GamesPlayed]

That’s EXACTLY how Mama used to was her greens! Making Gumbo and Chicken Piquant are the biggest headaches to make because of all prep work! But the end result is always awesome! I did make some CollardGreens soup one time, it turned out pretty good! I’ma try your recipe!

[@lynneruggio3958]

Good Lord I made this exactly like this but with the smoked ham hocks, that was the only difference and the people at work went crazy for it! One girl took the rest home for her family to try and it is a hit. It's my favorite recipe!

Hey AB I have been making this for about two years now. Just made some for my son in September this time I added bacon as well and let me tell you it was on the money. I love cooking. My family always has a new request each week so I make everything they ask for and then some.

lol 😂. I cut my collards shoestring thin! I also take out most of the stems on the large leaves, the smaller ones I leave them in! Smoke turkey tails not for me but I love the other parts! lol 😂 The best greens are after the frost hits them. They cook quickly and are deliciously tender!!! Summer greens are good but you have to add some TLC!!!

I was looking for a meatless version of gumbo greens. Still, I watched your video because I knew you would do them RIGHT. Yep, this looks amazing! Letting you know that your recipes inspire people like me who don’t eat red meat or poultry, but do eat fish/seafood. I’ll be able to adjust this for a really good vegetarian or pescatarian version, and maybe add a touch of liquid smoke for that smokiness. I’ll try them with and without shrimp/crab legs. Loving your channel.💕

OK AB, I’ve been looking at your channel for awhile, love everything you do, and I bet you’re either from the South, particularly around Louisiana, or you’ve been to the South for real cooking. No one from LA who hasn’t been to Louisiana knows how to properly make a gumbo. And….Louisiana is the ONLY STATE that people visit, then leave, either with food, or when they get back home, call folks in Louisiana and request that they send some of that Louisiana food to them, because they realize that their food has no real taste, and no other State cooks food as good as Louisiana. Keep up the great Work!

[@juliacarter1280]

Funny I was cutting my collard greens and wondering why I've never seen anybody put shrimp in it. I don't like shrimp but being down south it crossed my mind. Then I go to your channel and see this. 😂 I'm about to change the game around here thanks to you lol

🤔 A friend sent me this video. I'm like the guy mentioned, "one of those people that eat with your eyes" 😂 and my mind. I mentally marry the flavors together in my mind, and my digestive system reacts; either 😋 or 🤢. This one for me is 🤢 BECAUSE, I'm not a fan of "GUMBO"; some of the cajun ingredients irritate my stomach. Plus, GUMBO is basically "potluck" (a bunch of leftovers mixed in the pot). But, it's funny, Gambians have a dish similar called 🤔... "Ebbeh" (prononounced Ebbay) and I LOVE it. Also, with this dish the textures and flavors crashing...primarily, the sausage, shrimp, and turkey tails...😖 overkill! But, I hope it turns out great, and you enjoy it. 🙂👍🏽
