Why It Works
- Smoked turkey supplies an identical meaty, savory high quality because the bacon generally included in braised collards.
- The addition of butter provides the wealthy, mouth-coating high quality that pork stomach usually supplies.
Smoked turkey is probably not as fatty or wealthy as bacon, but it surely does share that trademark campfire taste, which is why we thought it might be the proper companion for an in any other case conventional bowl of braised collard greens.
When you’re feeling particularly bold, you’ll be able to braise the greens in a home made smoked turkey inventory; in any other case, store-bought hen inventory (and even water) will just do nice. It is a low-maintenance dish that is virtually unattainable to mess up. This rendition additionally occurs to be good and garlicky, spiced up with crimson chile flakes, and completed with a chew of acidity from cider vinegar and lemon juice. And, because the turkey’s fairly lean, we opted to complete it off with some butter to offer the pleasantly bitter, tender greens the wealthy, mouth-coating high quality that pork stomach usually supplies.
