Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 slices bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 bunches turnip greens, chopped
½ cup strong brewed coffee
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place bacon and onion in a large skillet and cook over medium heat, covered, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and onions are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Place turnip greens into the skillet, a handful at a time if necessary, until wilted down, 5 to 7 minutes. Add coffee, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Taste the liquid and adjust seasonings if necessary. Reduce heat to low or medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes more.
  • Uncover and cook until liquid has reduced and greens are tender, about 10 minutes more.

I followed the recipe exactly and the turnip greens turned out great! They were tender and flavorful, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making these again.

These turnip greens were good, but not great. I found them to be a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been cooked for a little longer.

These turnip greens were easy to make and very tasty. I used collard greens instead of turnip greens and they were still delicious. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The turnip greens are always tender and flavorful, and the bacon adds a nice touch of smokiness. I usually add a little extra vinegar to give them a bit more tang.
