Equipment

  • Stove
  • Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup smoked turkey meat use a smoked wing or neck
  • 1 1/2 cup Carolina Gold rice
  • 2 cups collard greens fresh, chiffonaded
  • 1 15 oz black-eyed peas canned, drained, and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tsp salt kosher
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Place the smoked turkey neck or wing in a pressure cooker with 2 cups of chicken stock. Pressure cook for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the turkey neck or wing from the pot and shred the meat; you will need roughly 1/2-3/4 cup.
  • In a large, high-sided pot, add 1 TBSP of olive oil. Heat the pot over medium heat before adding 1/4 cup of chopped yellow onion and 2 TBSP of garlic cloves. Sweat the onion and garlic before adding the chiffonaded greens. Allow them to wilt in the pot before adding the rice.
  • Combine the rice and greens in the pot and add 1 can of drained and rinsed black-eyed peas. Add your shredded turkey meat to the pot, and cover all ingredients with the reserved chicken broth, just enough to cover the rice. Season with 1 tsp of salt. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the rice is tender and fluffy.
