I planted tyfon in my garden this year, which is a large fast growing
"greens". I've harvested some, and they taste like turnip greens, only
milder. I'm the only one in my family that will eat boiled turnip
greens, and I don't like them all that much. I've seen similar-looking
greens at an Asian market. Does anybody have any interesting recipes or
ideas for turnip greens? I probably shouldn't have planted them, but I
hate to waste them. Thanks.

Best regards,
Bob

Follow a recipe for Kale Soup....but use the "turnip" greens.

Use them like grape leaves....so little is used, they are not as strong.

Have you tried sauteing them with olive oil, onion and garlic? Add a
few flakes of red pepper.

If you need to hide them try burying your turnip greens under a mess of
blackeyed peas with smoked pork... if all you have is bacon that will
do too. I happen to enjoy all types of greens, kale, collard, mustard,
turnip, beet, and especially cabbage. Just so happens I have some
extra space in my garden, gonna go with a couple dozen bok choy... the
white stems are great in stir fries but I love the green leaves in
soups... bok choy is a form of cabbage.

Kids typically like noddles, so why not fried cabbage and noodles...
coarsley shred an entire large head of green cabbage and place in large
pot with a half stick of butter, melted... add salt and pepper to taste
and cook over med-low heat until cabbage is wilted/tender. Then stir
in a pound of pre-cooked wide egg noodles. That's it. I see no reason
kale couldn't replace the cabbage. This dish goes great with meat loaf
and brown gravy, and a side of carrot coins for color and antioxidents.
Use curly kale and curly egg noodles... I just know there's a kid's
name in there.

Spinach, Collards and Turnip Greens benefit from a small quantity of
Balsami vinegar. Start with about 1 tsp per quart of liquid and greens
and adjust to your taste. YMMV.
