    I followed the dumpling recipe to the T. They were too loose so I added corn meal till I was able to roll them in balls. I ended up with a pot of corn meal mush not dumplings.

    This was the best and easiest dish I had enjoyed in a long time. After the prep time, you are basically done. I like that it was a filling complete meal. It is definitely a keeper. Several family members ask for me to make it the next week after I made the first batch. Warm, filling and love in a pot.

    Love the added cornmeal dumplings. I would fry and then add, they dumplings would be browned.

    the dumplings fall apart it must be that I can't find all purpose cornmeal here in California. Any suggestions on finding the all purpose meal?

    Very, delicious and simple to make. I found creating the dumplings easy,BUT a few fell apart while cooking the 15 minutes that the recipe called for. I too used the greens liquid for the cornmeal but thought it was to much & added the liquid in small increments and didn't use all of it. I think next time I will pan fry them a little bit before adding to the pot. I had to squeeze them together (rolling did not work, they didn't hold together when put in the boiling water.The only changes made was I sauteed the diced turnips with a little oil, real butter, salt and sugar first before adding to broth and used a diced cooked smoked ham and added less than and 1/8 of cayenne pepper to the broth. YUM! My sister and I made this for her husband and 2 teenage sons and we liked the finished product, which was very hearty, and by the time dinner was over the pot was empty and cleaned out. This is a keeper!

    These greens are so good, they'll make you slap yo momma! I've been looking for this recipe for years. The secret ingredient I've never used was the ground ginger. I didn't make the dumplings; I made plain ole cornbread instead. I also used one quart of chicken broth and three quarts of water, but I still added the boullion for good measure. Delicious!! My hunt is over!

    I make this every year at Thanksgiving! It is the best recipe for Greens I have ever tasted. I ususally add a bunch of Mustard greens as well. I only use fresh greens which can be a little time consuming to clean. But in the end, this dish is worth it.
