1
Prepare the Collard Greens
Thoroughly wash the collard greens under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Prepare the Turkey Necks
Rinse the turkey necks under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
3
Chop the Onion and Garlic
Peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

4
Sauté Onion and Garlic
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5
Brown the Turkey Necks
Add the turkey necks to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned on all sides.
6
Add Collard Greens and Broth
Stir in the chopped collard greens, ensuring they are well mixed with the onion, garlic, and turkey necks. Pour in the chicken broth and add red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
7
Simmer the Dish
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 45-60 minutes, or until the collard greens are tender and the turkey necks are cooked through.
8
Serve
Once cooked, remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, making sure to include some turkey necks and greens in each serving.
