Quick Southern Collard Greens
I've always cooked greens for hours, and I found a way to cook the southern home style greens for only 45 minutes. These greens taste as good as the ones that take all day to cook. For the Mom's with limited time to cook, here is an alternative way to cook healthy good greens.

Remove the main vein. Stack the about 4-5 eaves and cut them down the center, stack the two halves, then cut the leaves in strips diagonal and cut the strips vertical, to create squares. Put 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium size skillet on medium high heat. Place the collard greens in the skillet, stir and sauté for 15 minutes. Fill the stock pot with Chicken stock, chopped garlic, chopped onions, one tablespoon of olive oil and turkey neck, cover and bring to a boil. Add the greens and hot sauce to the stock pot, lower the heat to low/ simmer, cover and cook for 45 minutes. If it looks like the greens are drying out add a little more chicken stock.
