I've been making collard greens for years but my newly vegetarian daughter won't eat them prepared with the usual fatback used for seasoning anymore. I made this recipe up one afternoon and my family has been clamoring for these ever since! Really great flavors that meld together over the entire cooking time. They really are so good. They try to eat them right out of the pot! Serve with some hot sauce and vinegar on the side with your favorite meal. I promise you won't have any leftovers they are so good!

These collard greens were a waste of time. They were tough and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly and the collard greens turned out way too salty. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These collard greens were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These collard greens were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. The greens were cooked perfectly and the broth was flavorful. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

This is my new go-to recipe for collard greens. They're so easy to make and they always turn out delicious. I love the way the vinegar and sugar balance out the bitterness of the greens.

I'm not usually a fan of collard greens, but this recipe changed my mind. The greens were cooked perfectly and the broth was flavorful. I especially liked the addition of the smoked turkey. It gave the dish a nice smoky flavor.
