- 3/4 lb smoked turkey wings, (or other smoked meat)
- 4 quarts water
- 1 teaspoon Paula Deen's House Seasoning
- 2 chicken bouillon cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 bunch turnip greens, with roots (reserve 2/3 cup cooking liquid for dumplings)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon sugar, optional; (may be used if greens are bitter)
- 1 cup all-purpose cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 egg
Instructions
- 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 sand. 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 liquid after cooking if making dumplings.) Add butter and dumplings (if desired) and serve.
