This tastes excellent. I add a couple of carrots, just because we like the flavor of carrots cooked with meat. I've added rutabagas, too. Usually I need to add a second bag of greens when re-heating the leftovers which are just as good the second time! Serve this with some crusty bread and you've got a terrific meal. I've made this several times .

What a nice winter meal.I used frozen chopped kale for my greens and served it with homemade mashed potatoes. Yummers. With the leftovers I put them in a soup pot, added the leftover potatoes and broke up the turnip with my immersion blender. It makes a wonderful soup. Once the soup was a bit thick so added some vegetable stock to thin. Definately a keeper.

What a wonderful, authentic-tasting winter soul food recipe! I used half a 10 lb. smoked ham, Italian parsley and a few extra turnips, but otherwise followed the recipe. It made the whole house smell good and the five of us loved it for our before-Thanksgiving meal. I assume Luci below knows little about cooking, since there is no salt in the recipe and a smoked picnic ham would not have been too salty. She either added salt or bought an old-style salted ham, but either way it was her mistake and her negative review should not turn anyone off of this recipe.
