• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Preparation

1. Remove meat from turkey wing; chop and reserve 1/2 cup. Reserve remaining turkey meat for another use. Separate wing bone at the joint; reserve drumstick portion of wing. Discard remaining bones.
2. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add Anaheim chile; sauté 30 seconds. Add onion; sauté 2 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add reserved drumstick bone, collard greens, salt, red pepper, and black pepper to pot; cover with water to 1 inch above greens. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours.
3. Drain collard greens in a colander over a bowl, reserving cooking liquid. Discard turkey drumstick bone. Return cooking liquid to pan, and cook over high heat until reduced to 3/4 cup (about 40 minutes). Add greens and reserved 1/2 cup chopped turkey meat to pan; reduce heat, and cook 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently. Stir in 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Serve warm.
