Collard Greens with Smoked Turkey
I prefer to purchase my greens already washed & cut. It costs more, but can you REALLY put a price on the convenience of not having to do it yourself to save time? LOL

Tenderize those greens with some honey!
My Favorite Apple Cider Vinegar
Swap out the butter for olive oil for a healthier choice.
Liquid Smoke = Secret Ingredient
The greens would be incomplete without fresh pressed garlic & hot sauce.

water
fresh pressed garlic (3 or more cloves)

All kinds of wow!!! Your photos are great too!! I've never heard of tenderizing with honey.
Wow thanks Missy! :O) yeah, a lot of people use sugar. I'm trying to get away from using it whenever I can. Also, u can throw the bags of cut up greens in the freezer for a while. I guess it's kind of like a 1st frost on greens. If that makes sense.
