Gumbo Base Collard Greens

Collard greens braised in a roux-based pot liquor seasoned with the vegetable trinity.
Wash 2.5 to 3.0 pounds of fresh collard greens.
Remove stems from greens, stack multiple leaves on top of each other, roll and cut to desired size.
Add eight (8) cups chicken broth (low sodium) to a pot. Place smoked turkey leg, smoked turkey wing or two of each into the broth. Bring to a simmer and keep hot.
In heavy bottom pot, add one (1) cup vegetable oil and one (1) cup all-purpose flour.
Over medium to medium-high heat, stir the contents constantly making sure all flour is kept moving. Once roux darkens to a light caramel color add:
One (1) to two (1) rough chopped onions
Three (3) rough chopped stalks of celery
Two (2) bell peppers
Allow the vegetable trinity to cook in the roux over low to medium-low heat until the vegetables have softened some.
Once vegetables have softened add 3-5 smashed cloves of garlic.
Add one (1) Lb Andouille sausage.
Stir and mix contents together, allowing to cook a few minutes.
Next ladle in the hot chicken broth, mixing well with the roux until well combined. Place the smoked turkey pieces into the pot.
Bring the contents up to a gentle boil.
Once contents are up to a gentle boil, add the following dry seasonings:
(1) One Tbs Cajun/Creole seasoning
One (1) Tbs Garlic Powder
Two (2) Tbs Paprika
One (1) Tsp celery seed
One (1) Tsp Oregano
One (1) Tsp Black pepper
1/2 Tsp dried Thyme
1/2 to 2 Teaspoons red pepper flake (to taste)
1/2 Pack Sazon Goya seasoning
Two (2) Bay Leaves
Stir contents and mix well.
Add the chopped Collard Greens into the pot.
Cover and simmer 1 to 2 hours, depending on the desired tenderness and texture of the collard greens.
Once the collard greens are done to your liking, taste the pot liquor for seasoning adjustments and adjust as necessary.
