I didn’t even know you could eat turnip greens! Go figure! I love turnip though – so I’ll most certainly be trying out this one. Thanks =)
I didn’t like turnip greens much, until I had them at Cracker Barrel. They are the best! I may have to try cooking them.
I use Smoked Jowl, which is cheaper than bacon usually, chopped onion, and about a teaspoon or two of Glory Foods Roasted Vegetable Soup Base. The I cook them all day, on med-low heat, in a cast iron stock pot, making sure they stay covered in liquid. My Mama, my husband, and my son say they are the best they’ve ever eaten. Funniest part is…I HATE turnip greens and have NEVER been able to get them down. My husband says, that in all his professional cooking days, he’s never met ANYONE able to cook something so consistently delicious that they themselves have never managed to taste without getting ill, Lol!
I use one SMOKED turkey wing. It seasons it perfectly. I may only need a couple of shakes of salt,if any. I use this too with my favorite, collard greens.
Turnip greens are best when eaten with the southern staple, cornbread! That “pot likker” is wonderful to the last drop!
This recipe was so good. I added white beans and loved it.
so glad you liked it!
Do you cover it when simmering or leave uncovered?
I cover mine because I like more juice.
Thanks for this recipe! Was scouring the web looking for what to do with turnip greens…cooked my down with a tomato-bell pepper-onion-habanero sauce. Perfection! I guess I’m going to be seeing a lot more of t-greens…thanks!
You are welcome, so glad you like it. That sauce sounds fabulous!!
My kids con’t to grow vegetables as part of their after school project at Edison Johnson Rec Center. They brought home some turnip on yesterday and I was like, what’s that? Well, let me start cooking y’all.
