3 tablespoons	extra virgin olive oil
1 cup	sliced onions

8 ounces	thinly sliced okra
1/2 tablespoon	chopped garlic
2 pounds	shredded mixed greens (1/2 pound each spinach, collard greens, turnip greens and cabbage leaves)

2 quarts	vegetable or chicken stock
1	bay leaf
1 teaspoon	salt

PREPARATION:

Method

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot; add sliced onions, green onions and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add okra and garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Add greens, a handful at a time. Stir until wilted before adding next bunch. Add the turkey wings, the stock, bay leaf, salt, cayenne and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 1 hour. Taste for seasoning—greens should be tender and slightly spicy; add enough salt to enhance flavors.
