Majestique Healthy Holiday Recipe!Melba's Collard Greens and Turkey Wings

Everyone knows that I TRY to eat a little healthier, so when I come across a yummy recipe with a healthy twist, I like to share it! I found this one years ago in a cookbook from The National Council of Negro Women's Black Family Cookbook. It was the recipe I used when I first attempted to make my greens without the tradtional smoked pork. I have to say, it was quite YUMMY! Yummy enough where I have been doing it like this for the past 20 years. Enjoy!
