In a large stock pot, add diced bacon and cook until brown. Do not drain.
Stir in chicken base, minced garlic, and diced onion. Simmer for 3 minutes.
Add 6 cups of water and smoked turkey wing. Cook for 45 minutes.
Greens
While the smoked turkey is cooking, chop and rinse collard greens thoroughly.
After the turkey has been cooking for 45 minutes, add a few bunches of the collard greens and cover with lid. If not enough room in the pot, wait about 5 minutes for the greens to wither before adding more bunches to the pot.
Once all the bunches of greens have been added, add 2 cups of water and simmer on medium-low for 1 1/2 hours.
Remove the turkey from the pot and shred the meat.
Stir in the shredded meat to the pot plus apple cider, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, red pepper flakes, and sugar.
