Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

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:

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender turnips: Look for turnips that are small to medium in size, with smooth, unblemished skin. The greens should be perky and a deep green color.
  • Roast the turnips at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious nutty flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Give the turnips enough space so that they can roast evenly.
  • Season the turnips generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Roast the turnips until they are tender: This should take about 20-30 minutes.
  • Add the greens at the end of roasting: This will help them wilt and become tender without overcooking.
  • Serve the turnips immediately: They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Pan-roasted turnips with greens is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The turnips are roasted until caramelized and tender, while the greens are wilted and flavorful. This dish is a great way to enjoy turnips and their greens, and it is sure to become a favorite in your household.
