  4. Add greens to turkey stock. Cook for 20-30 minutes until tender.

Note: My special needs son loves to cook (mostly microwaveable items and easy prep items) but he has started watching YouTube videos of his favorite foods that he would love to learn how to cook by himself. We live in a digital world and these accommodations are really a huge step forward. Sometimes all it takes is a little patience and before you know it, your autistic adult son or daughter will be cooking you a five-course meal ;-).
