Turnip Greens For New Year's Dinner

My grandmother would plant turnips every year with me, along with the curiosity you’d expect from a little girl, right there beside her. She would harvest the plants, wash them thoroughly, and cook the greens and the turnips together.

Turnip Greens For New Year's Dinner

If substituting whole greens, be careful to wash thoroughly. This recipe calls for greens that have already been rinsed and cut, with the turnips separated. But you may substitute for whole leaves with turnips attached.

Tips for Cooking Turnip Greens

Add baking soda. Adding a pinch to the water once you begin the cooking process helps to keep the color of the greens more vibrant.
