Hi friends! Every holiday I have a thousand things to do in the kitchen. Anytime that I find something that will help make a recipe easier, I jump on it. I had been checking out “Cut N Clean” Greens for quite some time now, and I just had to share these amazingly fresh, and holiday friendly greens with you.

Cut N Greens are triple washed, and precut, therefore you can immediately use these greens without having to worry about preparation. They have a large variety of greens available, so you have plenty to choose from. I choose the Country Greens which is a delicious blend of Collards, Mustard, and Turnip greens. They also have beet greens, kale, spinach, and etc. Be sure to pick up a few bags from you local grocery store!

      It really depends on the size of the turkey leg. I suggest keeping an eye on it, and cooking until tender.
