Spirited Turnip Greens

(Dictated entirely by R.T.)

Here’s my recipe for turnip greens. I made it, I ate it, and I liked it. Nobody else had none, but they sure were good, and I wanted to share it with you.

Spirited Turnip Greens

Select fresh leafy turnip greens. They may become soggy in the cooking process, but it is always best that they are crisp when started. Wash to remove all grit. Remove large stems. Place turnips in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Season with your choice of salt, ham hock, chicken boullion, beef boullion, and/or bacon. Bring to a rapid boil and then cook your turnip greens. Prior to serving, add a shot of Jack Daniels or Jim Beam. You will be amazed at the rich, fullbodied flavor that your choice of bourbon or whiskey brings to your turnip greens.
