Recipe II

1. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and carefully saute it until it starts to turn golden brown. Take care not to turn the garlic.

2. Pour the chicken stock into the pot. Add the turkey meat. Put a lid on the pot, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

3. Rinse the collard greens in a large colander. Pat dry between layers of paper towels. Trim the greens and chop them.

4. Add the greens to the pot. Increase the heat to medium high. Cook about 45 minutes and allow the greens to cook down. Stir occasionally.

5. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn the heat down to medium. Continue cooking 45 minutes to an hour until the greens are dark green and tender.

6. Drain the water from the greens and reserve it. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the greens and mix in. Use the reserve liquid when reheating leftovers.
