Ingredients:

  • 3/4 lb smoked meat (smoked turkey wings are excellent)
  • 4 quarts water
  • 1 tsp house seasoning , recipe follows
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 bunch turnip greens with roots
  • 4 tbsp (1/2 stick) butter
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional; may be used if greens are bitter)
  • cornmeal dumplings , recipe follows

Directions:

  1. Place smoked meat in water along with House Seasoning, bouillon, and ginger. 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. Serve with dumplings.
  2. House Seasoning:
  3. 1 cup salt
  4. 1/4 cup black pepper
  5. 1/4 cup garlic powder
  6. Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
  7. Cornmeal Dumplings
  8. 1 cup all-purpose cornmeal
  9. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  10. 1 small onion, chopped
  11. 1 egg
  12. 2/3 cup liquid from cooked turnips
  13. Mix all ingredients together. 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.
