Time 2h30m

Yield 6 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 lb smoked meat (smoked turkey wings are excellent)
4 quarts water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 bunch turnip greens, with roots
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, may be used if greens are bitter)
1 cup all-purpose cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, chopped
1 egg
2/3 cup liquid from cooked turnip

Steps:

  • Place smoked meat in water along with spices and bouillon. Cook over low heat for 1 1/2 hours. Strip turnip leaves free of the big stem that runs down the center of each leaf. Wash in a sink full of clean water. Drain and wash twice more, since greens can often be sandy. Peel and slice or quarter roots. Add greens to meat; cook for another 30 minutes, stirring often. Add roots and continue to cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until roots are tender. (Reserve 2/3 cup turnip liquid for the dumplings.) Add butter and sugar.
  • For dumplings: Mix cornmeal, salt, onion, and egg. Dipping by teaspoonfuls, gently roll batter in the palms of your hands into approximately 1-inch balls; drop into boiling turnip liquid Make sure each dumpling is completely covered in liquid by shaking the pot gently; do not stir. Boil for about 10 minutes.

I'm allergic to turnips. Is there a way to make this recipe without them?

This recipe is way too complicated. I don't have time for all of these steps.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dumplings didn't rise. I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dumplings turned out dense and heavy. The turnip greens were good, though.
