How to Cook Turnip and Mustard Greens Seasoned with Smoked Turkey Tails!

[@kimmangham8070]

I love turkey tails! Started using them years ago when my family quit eating pork. Don't miss it at all.

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Hey Kim! They are my favorite now to season my greens and beans with. Thank you for watching and God bless!

[@lethahammond2004]

I like smoked neck bones.

[@Nicole.T121]

I have done this with smoked turkey wings, and we loved it as well!

[@RobertaAbrihall]

Thank you!

[@swilman66]

Hey Young Lady, I have cooked these twice using your recipe and all I can say is “WOW” these things are delicious. Thank you so much for all the info and the way you explain things. I’m originally from Georgia now living in North Carolina. There’s nothing better than a taste of Southern flare food. Thank you and GOD Bless!

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thank you Daniel. I love greens and so does my family since I was a child. If anyone is trying not to eat pork this is the best way to season them. Delicious.

[@Timsvids2915]

Ms. Jackie, I pick through every leaf to look for bugs and hole in the leafs. I’ve found that greens especially turnips and mustards have insects on the leaves. I also sprinkle some baking soda and salt on them when washing. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@edithphillips5251]

Wow 😲 Duck! I love duck. 😋👏

[@scottiecoads2116]

You cooked my favorite two greens! I sometimes also use turkey tails! I’ve learned to cleaned the tails by watching for long feathers in the tails!

[@manz400]

Them greens with the smoked turkey tails looks delicious 😋 just how i like it!

[@kamarynblackmon3844]

My family uses a different recipe but I'm trying this one out this year. I LOVE turnips and mustards. ❤ Thank you for sharing it looks amazing.

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Hope you enjoy

[@edithphillips5251]

I always bought turkey tails for my greens .😊 😋

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

The best!

[@makbaby6836]

Yes the best. Cooked the and cut them up. Rice wine vinegar

[@cadeladosol]

Thank you so so much, I also loved how you included sasón.

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

My pleasure 😊

[@MyPancho1]

This recipe produced fantastic Turnips and Greens. Thanks so much... The only substitution I had to make was smoked pig tails in place of the smoked turkey tails because that's what I had on hand when I made these...

[@dr.deannaellis-chopin7433]

I tried using smoked turkey in my greens, and they were swimming on grease; won't be doing that no more. I have found that to give great flavor to my greens is a little grape seed oil, lemon juice, carrot juice and a small amount of tomato sauce...of course I use all the spices plus a little organic sugar...and a pinch of coriander...also thyme, basil and parsley flakes...I try to avoid any seasoning with any kind of yeast, cause it causes bloating...😊

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Good stuff

I made your pot of greens today. Delicious

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Yum. You can’t beat a good pot of greens. Those Turkey tails are on point.

[@karmellatte2267]

THANK YOU 🎉 I made these greens for Thanksgiving 😩😩😩 all I have to say is they have been requested for Christmas 🤤 😂

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

You are so welcome. I’m so glad you and your family loved it 😍

[@williemaejohnson9842]

YOU ARE THE SECOND PERSON I've HEARD SAYING THEY ARE WASHING THEIR GREENS IN HOT WATER I've ALWAYS BEEN TOLD TO WASH THEM IN COLD WATER i WILL HAVE TO TRY THE HOT WATER NEXT TIME !

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

As long as the water isn’t too hot either warm or cold water works.

[@Keys-gj1yi]

I use smoked turkey necks ❤❤❤

[@napoleonbonaparte1260]

This looks amazing not gonna lie.

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thank you 🙏

[@caroljenkins5790]

It’s me again I also roll the leaves to cut them so they will be smaller in size portion then I check each leave carefully for bugs before I start to wash them and I use warm water sometimes I wash with baking soda or vinegar. I like them sweet.😊

[@BreeScott-th1hm]

I save a lot of time by washing my greens leaf by leaf, checking for bugs or bad leaves. Saves a lot of time.

[@shellshell5168]

Getting ready to try, will let you know the out come.

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

I hope you like the recipe 😉

Looks Awesome. I sent your video to my Daughter. She wanted to know how to cook Greens using Turkey Bones. Your Video was just what I was looking for. Thank you so much. HAPPY Holidays.

[@bongmenzindzinisa4248]

Love the post

[@jonathanrogan2702]

Ms. Jackie loved your video and appreciated how you honored those who came before. My question is how do you feel about bitter greens? Tennessee people love them bitter but some of my cousins from up north think we are crazy 😂

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

I don’t like them. I try to flavor my greens so they aren’t bitter.

[@timmyjones5281]

Nice video but I've been cooking beans greens cabbage and whatever else needs that smoke flavor with smoke turkey tails and I also use smoke pigtails... The turkey tears and pigtails bring good flavor to anything you cook.... You should try some turkey tails that's not smoke season up and bake them in the oven with some rice you talking about something delicious.. my mom taught this old country boy how to cook... Thank you for your video very nice

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thanks Timmy! I’ve used Smoked Turkey tails before but it’s been a long time and I totally forgot about them until this winter. I love them! Thank you for watching and God bless!

[@jamesdean3474]

Looks delicious!

[@mshighstepper2830]

Excellent job again Jackie! Just love love your recipes!!

[@TiamorJohnson]

Looks delicious, but your watch must be waterproof… if it is. Gone with ya bad self! 😂❤

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Yes all Apple Watches are waterproof but you do have to activate the feature each time you are in or near water. Then when you are in water it’ll even tell you how deep you are. If any water gets in the watch it will blow it out once you turn the waterproof feature off😉

[@zshell-thomas2358]

Nice presentation! I think your voice sounds similar to the actress Wendy Raquel Robinson. Famous.

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thank you! I love her. She looks like my baby Sister Angela too.

[@charlenegamble3204]

Yummy

[@jessiecunningham5360]

Love the background music in this clip. What’s it called?

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

It’s a soundtrack on the iMOVIE app called Aether by Darren King. It’s not my personal music but I like to use it so that people will recognize my videos when they hear it. Some people like it some don’t. Thank you for watching and liking the music👍🏼

[@UrbanHomesteadArtist]

Smoked Turkey tails are unheard of here unfortunately. 🇦🇺 It looks delicious though.

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

You can use smoked turkey wings, legs or necks too. If you can’t find anything, Better Than Bouillon has a ham flavored bouillon too. Just watch the sodium if you’re sensitive to salt🤗

[@latishawilliams8155]

Those greens look so yummy 😋 I didn't know about the turkey tails. I'm definitely going to try them. My family is having a hard time with pork so thank you for this video do you drain the greens?

[@marycatherineandrade5102]

I find all these food very yummy! But i just have to say that be careful because Turkey tails are not health foods, Its extremely full of fats and cholesterol Other than that, These food taste awesome !!! Like what my Mom and Dad always say "Moderation is the key" Happy Eating!!!

[@latishawilliams8155]

@@marycatherineandrade5102 thank you I will keep that in mind.

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thanks Mary!

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thank you Latisha! My goto for seasoning greens and beans used to be good ole ham hocks but if you are trying to avoid pork smoked Turkey tails is the next best thing. They are full of meat and flavor and you’ll never miss the taste from not using pork. Thanks for watching and God bless!

[@Calicaveman]

I tried to make a pot of Gold like yours but it was very bitter, I also used turnip bottoms like my mother did but in my opinion I thought because I had equal bunches of Mustard and Turnips it was BITTER so bitter a friend suggested I used a bit of sugar which I never heard of, I guess I’m asking if it matters about the ratio of the bunch’s Thank You 😊👍🏾🙏🏾

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Hey Mark! What are turnip bottoms? I always try to use more mustard greens than turnip greens. Mustard green are more tender just make sure that either green is not real big and tough. That’s a good sigh that they might be bitter especially turnip greens. I’ve never added sugar to those kinds of greens but sometimes I will add a touch of sugar to my collard greens and cabbage to cut any bitterness. I’m sorry that you were disappointed with your greens but don’t give up on cooking them. Try and try again until they are just like you like them. This past Mother’s Day my Mother cooked a pot of turnip greens but she didn’t add and mustard greens or flavor. I don’t know what happened but can I tell you that those were the most bitter pot of greens that I have ever tasted in my whole life. Luckily I made a pot of my mixed greens too and when I tell you that there was nothing left in that pot thats exactly what I mean. I was disappointed because I wanted some and all I got was half of a turkey tail. Go figure!

[@karonblakely571]

I always add a tablespoon of real honey and it works great for the bitterness.

[@caramelcosmo71147]

@@JackiesSouthernSoul Gurl you don’t know what turnip bottoms are?! I always use them on top of my greens, like my Mom does….so they’re turnips but the round white and purple ones that look like onions, you peel one, cut in slices horizontally, and just lay them on top of the greens the last 10 - 15 mins of cooking until they’re cut w a fork tender. Delicious!! You have to try it with your next pot…you won’t be disappointed 😍 that’s how we make them in Chicago / Midwest

[@georgiavaughan9104]

They are the turnips greens roots and put sugar in those greens as well to cut the bitterness.

[@tee8870]

The mustard greens to me have a bitter taste but I also put a lil sugar in my greens when I cooked them but use collards turnip and kale and the turkey tails also and the chicken broth just made a pot yesterday happy Thanksgiving everyone thanks for sharing your recipe

[@g.bangura]

Adding baking soda to the wash water really really makes the dirt fall off to the bottom of the sink. Try it and see.

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thank you I will remember that this Fall season when I’m cooking tons of turnip greens. God bless!

[@nikkichevere]

I cant find turkey tails nowhere and i live in the south so i just stick w smoked neckbones , hocks, or the smoked turkey legs

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Those will work the same. Here in Spartanburg I can find them at the Dorman Center Walmart but not at the Hillcrest Walmart. They definitely don’t sell them at all grocery stores.

[@nikkichevere]

@JackiesSouthernSoul girl I sure did find them lastnight

[@donnarhodes6631]

did you remove the turkey tails before adding the greens?

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Yes! Just because I didn’t want them to fall apart.

[@rnlrn1072]

A big bowl or pot is better for washing

[@user-td2wn3pr3w]

Can u use these greens making gumbo greens instead of collards??

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

I’m not sure what gumbo greens are.

[@RobertaAbrihall]

Turnips &mustard greens ×

[@nadinewright6836]

Next time put a litter baking soda u have two sinks u the other sink that’s good the baking soad

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

? Reword that please.

[@terrywilliams8571]

Why do you leave that much stems on your greens??

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Because I like the stems too!

[@elladenmark4076]

Hey, Ms. Jackie, great recipe! How many pounds of greens did you use?

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

I don’t remember for this recipe.

[@corrineperry5523]

Hot water wilts the greens never heard of using hot water and too much water

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Could you maybe explain that better so can comment accurately please 🙏

[@alesialeach8009]

I've never cooked with smoked turkey tails. Why do they need rinsed?

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Yes and remove feathers if there are any on them.

[@luthercooper2957]

Wash in salt water.

[@elizabethquan4702]

Please advise. I bought turnip greens and I do not have turkey tails but I do have chorizo sausage and I have bacon. What would be best? Do I have to have meat?

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Hey. I hope that I caught this question before you cooked your turnip greens. I’d use the bacon. If you don’t want to use meat you could use chicken broth to cook them instead of plain water. Be sure to still season them with salt and pepper too.

[@elizabethquan4702]

@@JackiesSouthernSoul your timing is perfect. So far I have washed them thoroughly and chopped them up. Advice I got from one friend was to boil the turnip greens in salted water until they are tender and then drain them and fry them together with bacon and onion. To me that sounded like a better option than to start with bacon and then add greens that would release a lot of liquid. What's your expert opinion?

[@angelawilliams4483]

I guess she doesn’t pick the greens before cleaning them .😮

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Guess not!

[@michaelpatton5012]

You don't roll and cut your greens?

SISTER GIRL, Studies have shown that eating excessive amounts of smoked foods can increase our risk of certain cancers, particularly of the stomach and colon.

im sure she doesn't eat an * excessive amount lol

With certain added ingredients like onions, garlic, and peppers it will be ok. Plus various fibers added to combat colon stagnation should be enough.
