Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 pound Turnip Greens chopped

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add oil and onions and sauté until the onions begin to soften, about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds. 
  • Add light brown sugar, seasoned salt, ground mustard, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 10 seconds. Add the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and turnip greens. Reduce the meat to medium-low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. 
  • Continue to cook the greens covered over medium-low heat, occasionally stirring until the greens and stems become tender, about 45 minutes to an hour. 
  • Serve the greens hot along with the liquid. Enjoy.

Notes

  • The liquid in the pot is known as “pot likker”and is great to sip while eating the greens.
