Collard greens with plenty of hot sauce, just how they like it in the South. These tasty greens flavored with bacon drippings, brown sugar, and smoked turkey would be a welcome side dish on any plate.

  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Never cooked collards myself before. This was a little spicy for me but we liked it. Added a little more brown sugar when I tasted it and saw it was spicy.

    I fixed this recipe for my mom and she just loved it !! next time I will use less hot sauce. Very good flavor !!

  3. chenry REVIEW:

    Best collard greens I've ever had! I used bagged, prewashed and cut greens, and six slices of bacon, cooked and chopped instead of the turkey wing. I also used butter. It was wonderful, but only took about half the cooking time in my crock pot. Enjoy!!
