- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the turnip greens thoroughly under cold water to remove dirt and grit. Trim off any tough stems and chop the greens into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 4
Add the chopped turnip greens to the pan in batches, stirring after each addition to wilt them down.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and stir to combine. Cover the pan with a lid and let the greens simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Once the greens are tender, stir in the apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm as a side dish for any meal and enjoy!
