Steps:

  • Place the turkey wings in a 3-quart saucepan and add enough water to just cover them, about 5 cups. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that forms on the surface. Reduce to a simmer and let cook, uncovered, 1 1/2 hours. Strain the wings and remove the meat from the bones and set aside; discard the bones. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the broth; save the remaining broth for another use.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper and cook 1 minute more. Add turnip greens in batches, allowing each batch to wilt and stirring to distribute before adding the next batch.
  • Once all the greens are added, stir in the vinegar, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Return the turkey to the pot along with the reserved broth. Reduce the heat to low, cover and let simmer until the greens are very tender, about 40 minutes.

2 pounds smoked turkey wings, chopped into quarters
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium Vidalia onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 pounds turnip greens, well rinsed, tough stems removed, leaves chopped
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the ham in a large stockpot over medium heat. Cook until the ham is crispy and the fat is rendered, about 8 minutes. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to lift up any brown bits.
  • Meanwhile, rip the greens into large pieces to make it easier to fit all of them into the stockpot.
  • Add the greens to the pot and season generously with black pepper. Pour in the chicken stock and stir to combine. Bring the greens to a simmer and cover the pot. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the greens are tender and the liquid is reduced by half, about 45 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is nearly gone, about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.

8 ounces country ham, cubed (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 pound stemmed turnip greens (see Cook's Note)
Freshly cracked black pepper
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock (one 32-ounce carton)

Steps:

  • Remove the greens from the turnips and reserve. Peel and cut the bulbs into 1/4-inch wedges. Remove and wash the tender leaves from the stems of the turnip greens. Chop the leaves and set aside.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a large cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed large skillet over medium heat. Add the turnip wedges and sprinkle with salt and pepper, stirring to coat with the butter and oil. Cook, stirring and flipping occasionally, until they are caramelized and tender, about 5 minutes per side. Add the honey, vinegar and pomegranate seeds, then cook until the mixture is combined and syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the turnip leaves and saute until they are wilted and darken in color, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.

2 bunches small turnips with greens attached
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
