Smothered Greens

Use a small amount of skinless smoked turkey breast instead of fatback to lower the fat content but keep the taste.

Ingredients:
3 cups water
1/4 pound smoked turkey breast, skinless
1 tablespoon hot pepper, freshly chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon cloves, ground
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 stalk scallion, chopped
1 teaspoon ginger, ground
1/4 cup onion, chopped
2 pounds greens (mustard, turnip, collard, kale, or mixture)

Place all ingredients except greens into large saucepan and bring to a boil. Prepare greens by washing thoroughly and removing stems. Tear or slice leaves into bite-size pieces. Add greens to turkey stock. Cook 20 to 30 minutes until tender.

Recipe makes 5 servings; serving size is 1 cup.
