This recipe was posted on another site by GrandpaSkip. He is a member here, but seems to be inactive. I LOVE this way to fix greens, so I am re-posting his recipe. You can use turnip greens, collard greens, mustard greens, kale or a mix of them. 1 WW point I personally like to throw in a smoked ham hock or some hog jowl when I add the greens for some extra flavor. This may change the WW value.

How To Make southern greens
-
1Wash and remove stems from the greens. Cut or tear int bite sized pieces. -
2Heat the oil in a stockpot over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and stir to coat with the oil. Add the bay leaves and cook for 8 minutes or until the onion is tender.
-
3Stir in the greens (the greens will fill the pot at this point but will wilt down considerably as they cook). Add the broth, vinegar, sugar and red pepper flakes. ** The last few years I have been trying to not eat sugar, so I have omitted it. I find no change in flavor. *** Cook over high heat for 10 minutes or until the greens start to wilt and the broth boils stirring to ensure the greens cook evenly.
-
4Reduce the heat to a medium to low. Gently simmer uncovered for a further 45 minutes stirring occasionally or until the greens are tender and the liquid has reduced by about half. Season to taste with salt.
