Turnip Greens to die for!

Even if you don't like turnip greens, you'll love these.  Delicious, I tell you.  Delicious!  Just look at this picture:

My mouth is watering....

These are so easy, and you will not be able to get enough....I promise.

Step 1: Cook some bacon (or bacon ends if you can find them) in a BIG skillet on medium heat. Once it starts to sizzle, throw in a chopped medium yellow onion and a few chopped cloves of  garlic.  Saute until bacon is cooked and onions are translucent.

Step 2: Now toss in your turnip greens.  Stuff in as much as you can in your skillet.  They will reduce like crazy!  Carefully stir to distribute the yummy bacon. 

Step 3: Add in 2 cups or so of chicken broth.  (This depends on how many greens you stuffed in your pot...so you may need more.  Just eye ball it. This is going to make the most delicious juice.  Justin and I were literally tipping our bowls and drinking the juice when we finished our greens.  Don't laugh.  You will too!)  Again, stir. You'll notice it start wilting right away and you'll be able to stir. Now season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Reduce heat to low and cover.  Let simmer 30-45 minutes. 

Now, Eat!

This is also good with hot pepper juice sprinkled on top.
