Ingredients

  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 jalapeƱos, seeded and finely chopped
  • 5 pounds assorted greens, rinsed, tough stems discarded, torn into large pieces
  • 1 (1.5-pound) smoked turkey wing
  • coarse salt, to taste
  • freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large pot, combine onions, 2 cups water, oil, and jalapeƱos, if using; bring to a boil over high heat.

In batches, stir in greens, allowing greens to wilt between each addition.

Add turkey wing, covering it with greens. Season with salt and pepper.

Cover, reducing heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, just until greens are tender, about 30 minutes; do not overcook greens.

Remove turkey wing from pot. Pull off meat, discarding skin and bones; chop, and stir into pot.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer greens to a serving dish. Serve immediately.
