Wash collard greens, kale, and mustard greens in salty water three times to remove grit.

Pour 2 quarts of water into the Instant Pot.

Add smoked turkey wings, chopped onion, bay leaf, and apple cider vinegar to the Instant Pot.

Add chicken bouillon, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to the pot.

Close the lid and ensure the valve is closed; pressure cook for 35 minutes on high.

After cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 50 minutes.

Remove turkey wings, strain bones and gristle from the pot liquor.

Soak greens in hot water during the final wash to wilt them for easier fitting in the pot.

Add wilted greens to the pot liquor and close the lid again.

Pressure cook the greens for 30 minutes on high.

Release the pressure immediately after cooking, covering the valve with a towel to avoid burns.

Stir turkey meat into the collard greens before serving.
