Sweet & Light Collard Greens

Collard greens can get a bad wrap, since somehow these healthy nutritious greens can become sinfully delicious.  My better half isn't much into these greens, healthy or not healthy.  But I will put them on his plate and he does eat them... just not with a smile on his face.  Tonight's concoction resulted in eating his plate clean without a scowl on his face, so I'll take it as a win.  Personally, I love collard greens and tonight's recipe was just the right about of sweet without adding everything from grandma's baking cupboard.

Ingredients:

• 3-4 slices Turkey Bacon, diced/chopped
• 1 bundle of fresh collard greens, rinsed & chopped
• 1 Tbsp Honey
• 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar

Directions:

1. Place a deep skillet over medium-high heat
2. Spray skillet with cooking spray or EVOO
3. Once skillet is warm, add in turkey bacon.  Cook for about 5 minutes until it starts to get crispy.
4. Add in collard greens and lower temperature.  Allow collard greens to begin to wilt.
5. Mix honey, vinegar, & brown sugar in a small bowl.  Toss into greens.
6. Reduce heat to low and cover skillet.  Let collard greens tenderize, color will change from dark green to a lighter green.  Keep covered for about 20 minutes.
7. Serve and enjoy
