I planted turnips this year (which are turning out wonderfully. I'm starting to wonder if we can actually eat all of them) and, as a result have a LOT of turnip greens.
I hated seeing them go to waste, (I feed lots of them to our bunny, but even she can't keep up with all the greens) so I found this:
At the suggestion of Southern Living, I made this recipe: https://www.southernliving.com/recipes/sauteed-collard-greens with Turnip Greens instead of Collard. (I there are a few other suggestions here: https://www.southernliving.com/food/kitchen-assistant/turnip-greens-recipes)
My southern wife absolutely loved them. (I thought they were good too, but she was far more enamored of them than I was.)
I used the greens off of 3 turnips and it made about 8-10 servings after wilting down.
One thing I'm interested in trying is the Turnip Green pesto in one of the other links. It might be a good way for longer term storage.

I lurvs me some turnip greens. Simple prep of braising in bacon drippings. Salt, pepper, and a healthy splash of good old Trappey's Pepper Sauce. Service with hot buttered cornbread.
