New Year’s Recipe: Southern Turnip Greens

By: Stacey Little

Growing up, turnip greens were a staple on our family table, especially when my mom was cooking. She had this way of making them taste like pure comfort in a bowl. I remember sitting in her little kitchen, watching her toss handfuls of greens into a big pot with a ham hock, bacon grease and whatever other magic she kept hidden in her cabinet. The aroma would fill the house, and we’d know it was almost time to eat.

Now, every time I make turnip greens, it feels like a little nod to her and those Sunday suppers. Funny how a simple pot of greens can take you right back to those moments, surrounded by family and good food. It’s the kind of memory that sticks with you, like the taste of that first bite.
