This is a recipe I got from the BBQ Forum about 10 years ago and have not tried it yet.
I certainly would not use all those greens, but I might use one bunch of each, and a small head of napa cabbage. I wouldn't wash the greens in my washing machine, either, lol!
Love the idea of adding in turnips!
So, Ian, for the crockpot, just use this recipe as a guide, and put in the amounts that will fit!

Robert's Louisiana greens
----------------------------
2 bunches mustard greens
2 bunches small collard greens
2 bunches turnip greens 1 small head of cabbage
1 1/2 lbs smoked turkey tails (or ham hock or whatever smoked meat parts you have)
1 big yellow onion cut in quarters
6 peeled turnips
4 tbs chopped garlic
season with louisiana hot sauce and red pepper/salt to taste
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wash greens good to get the grit out (I put mine in the washing machine on small load cold water---dont laugh--it works!!) chop.
Take your magnalite pot and put turkey tails in with 4 cups water bring to a boil, boil for 15 min (do not throw water out)
Put in your greens handfulls at a time
Pour 2 cans of low sodium chix stock
Add onion, garlic,turnips
I like to cook this all day on a low fire you will have to keep adding stock or water (you can not over cook this!!!)
Serve over cooked rice top with pepper sauce and Louisiana hot sauce--- with a big pan of cornbread and butter
Now this is what I call cold weather Comfort Food!!!!!!------DR

Thlanks, everyone, for the help - chances are I may go with the recipe LuckyTrim posted - that really sounds like a winner and a crowd pleaser.
Barring that, Lee, your's looks good, too. I know my request was misleading - I didn't mean to imply that I intend cooking them in a crock pot - What I really meant was just cooked slowly - like several hours (2 or more) as I've eaten them done that way and they were out of this world!
