The butta babe

1: Build the broth: In a large stockpot, add the chopped onions, crushed garlic, water, all the seasonings, both bouillon bases, and the smoked turkey leg.

2: Simmer for flavor: Cover and let simmer over medium heat for 20–25 minutes to develop the broth.

3: Prep the greens: While the broth simmers, remove the thick stems from the collard greens. Roll the leaves, slice into ribbons, and wash thoroughly—at least three times—to remove grit.

4: Taste and adjust: After the broth has simmered, taste and adjust seasoning if needed—more salt, sugar, or spice to your liking.

5: Add the greens: Stir in the collard greens, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the greens are tender.

6: Finish and serve: Remove the turkey leg, shred the meat, and return it to the pot. Serve hot alongside your favorite meal.
