It's the Holidays I love a nice pot of Collard Greens I cook them myself matt 11/23/24

[@nickvids]

Can you make them a day in advance?

[@jsbswampfox]

Great recipe bubba. Your winter vegetables lose their bitterness once they have had a Frost. If you have people selling local collards or cabbage, get them after the first Frost, you will notice , their will be no need for sugar. Thanks for sharing.

[@SupaNami]

Yep, its good to get a little frost on them.. makes them sweeter

[@ladyschatze9159]

The pinch of sugar is to bring the seasonings or flavors of seasonings together.

[@JAYEHILLMUSIC]

Love the video! I personally think its easier to clean them on the stem. And cook / roast the turkey and garlic, onion first to develop more flavor. But errthang else 100% on point.

[@creating1_c1999]

I've been seeing a lot of posts and even inquiries from family and friends about "how hard it is to cook collards". And I'm stunned to silence. They are to me the easiest. You can always find them. They always look beautiful and bountiful. They of course take longer than other greens to cook but that to me means they are more forgiving. You have to be careful with your delicate greens because risk so much. Give collards the love they deserve.

[@phillycheese90]

I used to think that too, and then I realized they just take time. Easy as pie once you realize it just needs some time put into it. lol don’t start greens at 2 pm for dinner at 5

[@MyDibbs25]

@@phillycheese90😂 definitely will be eating dinner late if u start that late

[@analiefernandez1987]

[@eastsidejeezy734]

I love the stems. I need my change in texture. Smoked turkey. Water & chicken broth. Vinegar. Soul seasoning and greens seasoning. Garlic and onion powder Cajun seasoning. And when it’s about 30 mins from done, a lil sugar. Low heat. They should take about 3 -5 hrs. An hr or 2 with just the meat. Then 2 -3 hours with the greens. Depending on the temp. Once you learn about greens, you can do it in 3 while monitoring your liquids. Onions are great, but optional. A fire cheat is no vinegar then mix some onions, tomatoes, Italian seasoning and vinegar to top your greens

[@Kris_Si2]

ME TOO! I need a few stems boiled in there with broth. And add molasses not sugar

[@cutechoclatechip]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I pretty much make mine about the same except i add bacon grease and use ham base… well done sir

[@marieb9926]

Ham base is a good addition.

[@brendagrant9382]

I use olive oil, low sodium turkey bacon, and now broth from regular chicken.

[@happy2cya70]

Yummy! I'm cooking mine with ham hocks. Collards are so yummy with hot pepper vinegar!

[@sharonpatterson6630]

My favorite. I love collard greens 😋

[@TrishaGreer-se2gn]

Those Collards look delicious!!! You clean your collards the way my mom taught me!!! Your turkey necks also looked delicious- not a fan of necks but I think you have won me over!!! Thanks for posting and God bless!!!!!

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Just made a big ol’ batch of this for Thanksgiving. I added pepper bacon, bacon grease, ham hocks, smoked turkey legs, fried spicy sausage, roasted garlic and hot pepper honey. 🥘💙

[@donmckinney4091]

This is an EXCELLENT recipe and one of the BEST I've ever tried now just a few personal adjustments!-1. What I did was strain the liquid after boiling it with the onion and garlic so I just had liquid but still seasoned. 2. I cooked the liquid for three hours before draining. 3. When he puts the bullion and sugar and red pepper in the pot I did this at the same time I put in the greens and cooked for two hours and the results?-AWESOME!!!! try this also as a side note when filling the pot his size just go half-way no more and that's plenty of liquid. Also instead of the garlic bullion I used the Roast Chicken version which gave it an delicious taste!. And add the bullion(1 teaspoon) to the liquid when adding the onion and garlic and another one when you put the greens in. But overall this recipe is a keeper!

If you ever and I mean ever- try collard greens in the pressure cooker with the stems for 40 minutes. Imma tell you in advance- "You're welcome"😉!! They are the best, most flavorful and the tenderest.

[@shannonreonazalma3275]

I love the stems I don't even mind if they're a little better. I'ma try this.

[@jlove3046]

Im trying this for xmas meal. I already got my Thanksgiving sides. Thanks for sharing! I appreciate you sharing your work!

[@Earth_Angel777]

Me too 😂❤ so easy and always remember you can add but you can’t take away. Just know his seasoning is a must buy for my Christmas stocking. 🥰👩🏽‍🍳🥲🥘💖🎁

​@@Earth_Angel777 no way not for a xmas stocking. That goes to my kitchen. Restock!😆

[@robinfreebird4784]

Collard greens are absolutely the best, and not hard to grow 😃 Ty for this , as the smoked turkey will be a nice change ❤

[@creating1_c1999]

that's what I'm saying...they are truly a gift

[@tek3freak]

I always remove the stems from my collard greens. I do this for kale too and call it "removing the sticks." One time i purchased the pre-chopped ones but still wanted to remove those stems. It was so much more work...never again. I make vegan collard greens with very similar ingredients but have to sub in liquid smoke to get that smoky flavor. they are so good!🤤I'll have to order your all purpose seasoning some time and try seasoning them with that.

[@kameikaoden7354]

Can I get a bowl with some sliced tomatoes and onion. Got my mouth watering

[@johnm93359]

You just reminded me. My mom used to make a topping she called "tomato goo". Not sure of the recipe, but contained diced tomato, onions and/or scallions, vinegar and seasonings. Good memories!

[@kameikaoden7354]

@ yes it usually has vinegar in it but I leave it out

[@dalemaclaren7576]

Thank you so kindly. Going to make this. I will smoke my own turkey to. ❤

[@ladyschatze9159]

BTW!! I use smoke turkey legs. The BEST meat.

Thank you Matt! I make my greens the same. I cook off the raw from the veggies in chicken grease. I put onions, red pepper and fresh garlic. Ppl!! The sugar brings the flavors of the seasonings together!!! ITS NOT TO MAKE YOUR GREENS SWEET!!

[@johnspann3328]

Now that’s what i’m talking about 😳😳👍🏾

[@chriscuervo78]

Added to the menu 👍

[@Wrightn221]

I don't use turkey, because there's no fat. I use smoked neck bones like grandma. I don't know who came up with turkey necks. Uncle Wiley Green seasoning is what I use to season my greens. And, I sauté them like fried cabbage, add a little baking soda then simmer because it cuts down on cooking time.

[@shannonreonazalma3275]

Collard greens are my favorite! Beautiful preparation, I'll order this seasoning blend and try it out! I laughed at the redheaded step child comment, cause I'm literally a redhead step child! 😂 Folks do treat greens like that, i just dont get it!

[@midorimairi]

Well done ❤

[@thatgirl4033]

Bruh where the cornbread 😂😂 looks delicious 😊

[@jenjoy3215]

You got that right. Work on preparing a flavorful broth first and foremost. What I do and I use smoked turkey parts. It’s so good! It’s not just for southerners anymore. The secret is out.

What No bacon or grease???

[@DeseraeAllday]

The smoked turkey necks and leg is adding the flavor(more in my opinion) than bacon would. If you'd prefer pork just use smoked ham hocks instead.

[@johnm93359]

I find that when I cook smoked turkey wings, the resulting broth, once cooled congeals due to the fats or collagen released. Any way around this? Also, what did you do with the skin? I prefer the wings as there are no pin bones to worry about and they are pretty meaty.
