I've had trouble finding a good, yummy way to cook turnip greens and we get a lot of them with our farm share! This is a modified recipe from cooks.com. My whole family likes this one.
2-3 bunches turnip greens (the fresher, the better)
2 strips bacon
2 hard-boiled eggs
1/3 c. minced green pepper
1/3 c. chopped onion
1 can white beans, rinsed and drained (Great Northern or black-eyed peas)
2-3 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. sugar (1 packet of Splenda works too!)
1/4 tsp. black pepper
salt to taste
Wash turnip greens thoroughly. Trim off coarse stems. In a large frying pan or dutch oven with a lid, fry bacon until crisp and remove it from fat. Chop/crumble and save for later. (Meanwhile hard-boil your eggs if you don't already have them.) Add onion and green pepper to bacon fat and saute until limp. If you used a lower fat bacon like canadian or turkey bacon, you will need to add some olive oil to your pan for sauteeing the veggies. Coarsely chop turnip greens and add to onions and green pepper. Stir to mix well. Cover tightly and cook 10-15 minutes or until tender. Add beans, black pepper, sugar, and lemon juice. Toss lightly and salt to taste. Turn into serving dish and garnish with crumbled bacon and slices of hard-boiled egg. Approx. 4 servings.
