Turkey and Collard Green Soup!


After any holiday meal there are usually leftovers. If you've taken the 
time to roast a delicious turkey, don't let a drop go to waste! Turn 
those leftovers into a fresh new meal! This would work great with 
chicken as well.

2 cups shredded turkey meat
1 bunch of collard greens chopped
1 red onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic minced
4 cups turkey stock + 2 cups water
2 slices of bacon
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
Salt & pepper
Hot sauce (optional)

Place cold bacon in a heavy pot or Dutch oven. Turn on the heat and 
slowly render the bacon fat & remove.
Sautée the onion in the fat for 5 to 6 minutes until soft but not 
brown. Add the garlic, salt and pepper and cook for 60 seconds. Pour in 
the stock and water and bring to a boil.
Add the greens, cover and reduce to simmer 45 minutes to 1 hour. During 
the last ten minutes add the shredded turkey to warm through.
Just before serving add the vinegar.
Serve the hot sauce on the side.
