    1

    Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it reaches a boil, add the pasta and cook according to package directions, usually about 8-10 minutes until al dente.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

    3

    Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.

    4

    Incorporate the collard greens into the skillet, stirring them in and cooking for an additional 5 minutes until wilted.

    5

    Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

    6

    Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the turkey and collard greens. Toss everything together until evenly combined.

    Finally, mix in the parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted and everything is well coated. Serve hot.
