Ok all you other southern residents can stop reading this post. I made these and they were very good. I have been trimming back on my ham hocks and bacon after watching the last southern generation battle heart disease. I even used .......turkey bacon and frozen turnip greens. I was expecting lighting or something to strike me when I put in the pan. I did have to add a extra spicy for my taste. I put in some no salt ham flavor....to make up for the turkey and some pepper flakes.....I left out the butter as I didn't need to boil. 30 mins I was finished great vege for a busy night in the new south.

Delicious! I was nervous about the bacon being chewy, as I prefer crisp bacon, but because it cooks for so long the bacon is incredibly soft. Absolutely wonderful. My whole family loved it even my 11 month old!

This is an excellent combination of greens the only thing I do different in omit the pickle juice from the cooking and use vegetable oil and salt pork or ham hocks instead of the bacon... diced onions as well instead of the slices... Being from the south means greens are a staple in our households... and if you have turnips of any kind you MUST use the roots... oh how delicious.. and the cooking time is the key the greens should NOT be crunchy we are not having salad we are having greens so they are cooked down until they are tender... served up with a side of warm cornbread and H_O_N_E_Y....umph...

These were very good, but they needed a little more oomph to suit our taste. Next time I will add some hotsauce and vinegar. Thanks LUCKYCHEEKS!

I'm sure this will be better when I can prepare with bacon :)

This was my first time making greens. I only used 1 bag of pre-washed turnips and I didn't add the mustards. I think I added too much water so I hate to add a bit more pickle juice and they still turned out excellent. Tangy and delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

OK but I'm not from the south so I wouldn't try this again.

My family loved this recipe and it was so easy! I used 1 bag of pre-washed turnip greens and left everything else the same. This cooking time was pefect...tender and flavorful!

I substituted chard and collards for the turnip greens, put in chicken broth instead of water and added about a tablespoon of creole seasoning. Fabulous!
