Ingredients:

  • 3/4 lb smoked meat (smoked turkey wings are excellent)
  • 4 quarts water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 bunch turnip greens , with roots
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional, may be used if greens are bitter)
  • 1 cup all-purpose cornmeal
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg

Directions:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
