Add broth, seasoning, green onion, garlic cloves and smoked turkey leg to the Instant Pot.
Top with the collard greens, remembering to push them down to fit in the pot by using the end of a spatula.
Lock the Instant Pot lid, turn the valve to sealing position, and cook on pressure cook (manual ) on high pressure for 27 minutes.
When done, perform a quick pressure release (QPR) and then open the lid carefully.
Remove the turkey leg (the meat should falling off the bone tender), shred, and place it back into the Instant Pot insert.
Season with salt, if desired, and serve.

Cook time does not include the time it takes to come up to pressure or for pressure to release.
Make sure to press or squeeze down your Collard Greens with the end of your spatula so they can wilt down as they cook.
If you don’t have smoked meat, but still want that smoked meat flavor, try adding in some Smoked Paprika instead.
Don’t overfill your Instant Pot with the Greens as they won’t have enough room to cook correctly.
