Easy Sautéed Turnip Greens
Makes 4 Servings
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or 2-3 Tbsp water or vegetable stock)
½ cup chopped yellow onion
3 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 bunch turnip greens
Water or vegetable stock, as needed
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of ½ to 1 lemon or lime (or 1 Tbsp vinegar of choice)
Wash and drain the turnip greens, but do not dry or spin them. Coarsely chop the greens; removing the stems is optional. Set aside.
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the oil (or water or stock, if preferred). Sauté the chopped onion for about 1 minute, until it starts to soften. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute more, until the garlic starts to soften. Add the prepared turnip greens, and salt and pepper to taste. Raise the heat to medium-high if needed to keep the vegetables cooking. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the greens are wilted and as tender as you like. If needed, add a small amount of liquid (water or stock) at a time to the pan to keep the vegetables from getting too dry as they cook. Turn off the heat and stir in the citrus juice or vinegar, using as much or as little as desired. Serve.

I diced a tomato and sauteed it along with the greens, and it made a great substitute for citrus juice.
Fabulous idea! Thank you so much for watching and sharing the idea! I'll give that one a try :)
In South India we cook this with some lentils and put some freshly grated coconut on top at the end
Sounds wonderful! Thank you for watching and sharing :)
Indian cooking keeps me healthy
I like your recipe of green turnip. You explain this so well. Thank you Judy for a nice recipe.💕💕
You're welcome, Rani! I'm glad the recipe will work for you. Thanks for watching and sharing such kind comments :)
I tried your recipe a few times, really easy, healthy, and yummy! I also modified once, and added ground meat processed with my favorite Bangladeshi spices
I'm glad you found a way to make it right for you! Thanks for watching and sharing :)
Hi Judi, I like how you included the stem of the leaf. I always cook every part of a green. It makes the dish more interesting, tastefully and visually, and I don’t feel like I could be wasting the best part. Thanks for a great easy-to-follow video!
Hi Maeve! Thanks for watching and sharing your insight! I agree...I see no reason to remove the stem when it adds a little texture to the dish! It's perfectly edible, so why toss it out?? I always eat the whole thing, but in some ways I actually prefer the stems! Thanks again for sharing. Take care :)
Thank you Mrs. Judi my husband brought home some turnips i dont eat them nor have i ever cooked them.. so this was a life saver
I'm glad this video helped you, Becky! Thank you for watching and sharing :)

I made a beef stew with turnip greens and it turned out great!
I love turnips! Though I’ve only eaten greens at a restaurant. This is my first attempt to cook greens on my own. Your recipe was precisely the way I’d like to eat turnip greens. Thank you for the demonstration. Enjoy your holidays!
🎄☃️🎉
Very nice job! Thanks! 😃
You're welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful to you. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Like you said, allium and lemon juice is all you need. They cook very fast. I don't like to cook them past the stage where the green color turns toward brown.
Hi Haoz! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Excellent.
Thank you Gwendolyn! I'm glad the video was helpful to you! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Could mix these with maybe some rice or barley?
Sure, Dee! Why not? Thanks for watching and asking :)
I love onions but I get heartburn from them is there something else I can use?
No problem, Melanie! Just leave the onions out. They will taste great without them! Thanks for watching and asking :)
Shallots?
@@Jeff-ql3tg thank you I had to ask Google what shallots were
@@Jeff-ql3tg Why not? Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Use green parts of green onions instead
I made turnip greens and beans the other night and they were so bitter I threw them away. I don't like wasting food, but they were so bitter and horrible tasting.
Hi Cyndi! I'm sorry you decided to toss the turnip greens! There are "tried and true" ways to remove the bitter flavor from greens, like drizzling them with a little lemon or lime juice, or vinegar of choice at the end of cooking time. It doesn't take much to do the job. I do this ALL the time...literally ANY time I cook greens of any type. Please take a little time to check out my video on this subject. It may help you in the future... ua-cam.com/video/ahpfjMrKOis/v-deo.html I hope this helps! Thanks for watching and sharing :)
I did the same but luckily haven’t tossed the whole bunch yet thank you!!
Pick your greens earlier. They get bitter from bad/stressed growing conditions or being mature. Pick younger greens
Thanks! I will be trying this today! I have always cooked with a lot of water and smoked meat but trying to eat better these days. Thanks!
