Sautéed Turnip Greens (Photos)

Had bloodwork done again today and my INR is still too high, so we had turnips again tonight. As you guys know, there is more than one way to cook turnips. A couple of years back, I posted a pot of boiled turnips. I think they were mixed with mustard greens. Tonight I decided to sauté them (turnip greens only). I wound up with only two servings, but they were very good. Here is what I did.

Started with:

Turnip greens, turnip roots country ham, sugar, oil, and some black pepper (not shown). There is salt there, but I did not use it.



The first thing I did was put half of my package of country ham into the sauté pan to start cooking.



While that was going on, I washed and stripped the turnip leaves from the stems into smallish pieces.



Into the hot pan they went, over the ham.



Then I peeled and cut up one turnip root. Into the pan it went, with a couple of teaspoons of oil.



I like pepper with my greens so I seasoned them with black pepper and a little sugar. Country ham can be really salty, so I did not add any salt to the greens. When all was complete, they did not need it.



The pan is hot and the greens begin to wilt quickly.



I used a lid on the pan and in no time at all the greens had reduced to a level that frightened me because I hoped to have two servings when all was finished.



I used the lid and after maybe three minutes, the turnip roots were fork tender.

A natural, safer way to push my INR down.

Thanks for looking at my post.
