Why it can spike blood sugar
Pure protein with no carbohydrate, so it adds nothing to your glucose load — it actually helps slow absorption of carbs elsewhere in the meal.

Collard Greens with Smoked Turkey Wings
Cooking tips
Simmer 2-3 smoked turkey wings with onion, garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for 45-60 minutes before adding the greens, so the smoky flavor builds the pot liquor. Pull the meat off the bone and return it to the pot.
Why the swaps are better
Zero carbs, and swapping smoked turkey for salt pork or ham hocks keeps the deep smoky soul food flavor while cutting saturated fat dramatically — better for blood sugar control and heart health at the same time.
