Spicy Southern Collard Greens

Nothing says Southern family Sunday dinner like a big bowl of collard greens on the table! Get your pot just right by browning the turkey first to build that rich flavor. My secret: greens take on the flavor of the broth they’re cooked in so taste your broth before the greens go in! Once you have a broth that is perfectly spiced, salted, and flavored your greens are guaranteed to soak in all that goodness in each and every bite! I won with this recipe during the Main Event Challenge on Next Food Network star – now you can stay winning every Sunday too! Pair with my sweet honey butter
cornbread!
