Re: Re: OT: cooking greens ... need help!!

[Guest guest]

I see those smoked turkey legs once in a while near the ham hocks, but

have no clue how to use them. Do you cook then pull meat off bone when

it is warm and soft and add back to the greens? I don't have a digital

PC but a regular stove top PC, but greens take me so little time and

come out so nice just done in the dutch oven on stove top that I will

keep doing them that way. Love my PC for other stuff though.

I think it would be best to leave the meat on the bone--bones add body and flavor to the liquids in which they're cooked.

I may not have worded that right. I meant cook the smoked turkey leg

in the broth, then when all is done, remove from bone, cut up and

stir back into mixture.

If you mean put the bone back with the meat, my guess is "no." I suppose you could throw it back in though.

No, I mean take the meat off the bone after the greens are done, and

toss the bone, which by this point has given up it's flavor to the

broth, putting only the meat back in the pan.

I guess the original question should have been take meat off before

or after cooking.

My favorite is the smoked turkey meat that our local grocery deli sells,

though I am trying hard to use less processed meat of any kind these

days. I am working on a good flavorful mixture of stuff (such as browned

onion and garlic) to do my greens without meat. We shall see if husband

likes them as well as he does love his meat (of almost any kind, but

does not like fish).

Thanks Terry, I will have husband take a look. He has smoked turkeys

in our smoker and they are very good, but in winter or when it's

raining, smoker is harder to keep working. LOL And it's raining

today. But then I don't have a turkey either. haha

Maybe it's just my Texas upbringing, but if there is going to be

Hehehe, even in the South, there are those of us who stay far away from pork products so no pig in my greens! LOL!I also like to use only naturally-smoked products or smoke them myself. I think home-smoking chicken and adding to to the greens would be the way we would go.

And if we're talking non-Luzianne southern, let's not forget the red

Good to know on the flavor being stronger. We like flavorful beans and I

That is why it is so great to make your own food (rather than buy
