Ingredients:  
3/4 c. peanut oil or vegetable oil
3/4 c. flour
1 large green bell pepper chopped

1 large white onion chopped

Directions:
Chop and cook the greens in water/chicken stock until al dente (30-40 min). Drain, but do not rinse. Set aside.

Add peanut oil to a large pot and heat to medium heat. Add flour and stir. Cook for 20-30 minutes, constantly stirring, until the roux browns to the color of peanut butter (or darker). The preference is a nice dark roux the color of chocolate.

Add peppers, onion and celery. Stir and cook about 5 minutes.

Add garlic, andouille, smoked turkey, and Cajun seasoning. Cook another minute, stirring.

Stir in the vegetable stock and the chopped greens, then bay leaves. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the greens are very tender.

Serve over white rice if preferred, or straight into a bowl.
