6. **Shred the Turkey:** Remove the turkey leg from the pot. Shred the meat, discarding the bones, and return the meat to the pot.

7. **Add Seafood:** Add the previously browned smoked sausage, along with the shrimp and crawfish tails to the pot. Simmer everything together for another 20 minutes.

8. **Finish and Serve:** Once the seafood is cooked through and the flavors have melded, your gumbo greens are ready. Serve hot and enjoy!
