Collard greens bring back so many memories! Good memories, of course! In my house, collard greens meant family time and full bellies! Lol! We only would have this dish on Sundays or special occasions. I could just smell them cooking now….ahh good times! I would always try to sneak a taste before they were completely done, and I usually got caught! Lol!

Now that I’m older, I have continued the tradition with my own family! It took several Sunday dinner mishaps, but I finally mastered my mom’s collard green recipe! Yayy, me! Even though, I loved my mom’s recipe, I wanted to experiment with a few different recipes. Turkey Sausage Stuffed Collard Green Wraps came to mind when I was experimenting with a few low-carb wrap options!

I thought the only way to enjoy collards were the traditional way; simmered in a large pot, accompanied by perfectly seasoned meat. Boy was I wrong! These wraps completely changed my outlook on life!

Besides being utterly delicious, these wraps were very easy to make! I cooked my sausage, rice, and veggies and then placed them on a raw collard green leaf. I rolled the leaf tightly, making sure to keep all of the ingredients intact! I placed the wraps in a baking dish and baked them for about 10 minutes; just enough to slightly soften the collard green leaves.

Be careful not to overcook the wraps. Overcooked veggies lose their nutrients and we want all of those great vitamins/minerals, right?! ? You want them to remain pretty and green! You can choose to add cheese to your Turkey Sausage Stuffed Collard Green Wrap if you desire. I think they taste great either way! Go ahead, and give these a try!

Oh, and the fun doesn’t stop here….keep scrolling ?
