How to Clean and Cook Turnip Greens | Cook With Me | NotesfromNancy 

Ive never made greens before but i followed your video and it’s the best thing ive ever had in my life!!!!

It was a pleasure just watching and hearing your voice. I live the fact you come from Alabama. One of the deep parts of the South and I wanted to see how differently you would cook turnip greens. I was born in the north but my grandmother came from Richmond VA. and her kitchen always had turnip greens, collard and kale. It was nice to see the turnip roots. Grandmom called them white turnips. You gave me a part of my childhood again. Thank you.

Omg I needed this!! Thank you so much!! I’m actually from Alabama too grew up here but my mom was never a southern cook sadly so I missed out on all the soul cooking but I’m teaching myself and thank you for this video!! Simple step by step 🙌

I really loved the way you showed in detail the whole process thanks

I'm from Alabama too. This is the best recipe I have ever eaten. Oh thank u

Nancy, I made these for Christmas dinner just like you instructed. They were absolutely delicious and got rave reviews from all! Thank you!

Thank you for the detail! Beautiful!

This video was very thorough and informative. I have never cooked turnip greens, but now I want to try. Looking forward to more Notes from Nancy.

I bought some turnips yesterday cooking for Sunday dinner. Haven't cooked greens since my childhood. Absolutely love your video ❤. Very thorough

This looks so yummy!! I'm cooking the greens right now using this recipe except I live in Michigan so I don't have smoked turkey tails where I live but I'm using bacon. It smells awesome!! Thanks for such thorough instructions. So far the best I've seen on turnip greens!

Thank you! Made turnips greens last night and they were sandy. Now I know how to cook them! Looks delicious!

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing. Can’t wait to try.

I did like your show and I learned a lot about cooking turnip greens. I’ll be watching u ! Thanks

Great video, Nancy! My mom and my aunts used to cook turnips but I never realized how much work went into it. I saw some pretty farm-fresh turnips at the farmer’s market today and thought I’d like to make some. I’d have been lost without your video! I appreciated your clear, detailed directions!❤️

The Greens look delicious! You did a nice job explaining the process.

Incredible video!!! Thank you I forgot about pepper sauce I’ll make sure and grab that for my future greens ❤️

Thank you learning how to cook turnips and thanks again now I know to put them in the freezer. Ok washing turnips 👍. Thanks for explaining the process . And buying some just to teach us cooking turnips process.

Thanks Nancy. Great job.

You are my go to cook! Love these recipes. I too am from Alabama, right next to the Florida line. These recipes are like the ones I was raised with. Except the turkey tails. We always cooked with bacon and fried some chicken. Right at the last 5 minutes we would put the fried chicken in the turnips to soak up the pot licker. 😊

I enjoyed watching your video. Now I'm ready to try cooking turnip greens.

Love the video Nancy. I was born and raised in NJ, moved to NY and spent most of my life there. However, even though I'm from Italian / German descent, I love southern cooking, and I love vegetables. I don't think I've met a green I didn't like. You have confirmed that I am cooking my turnip greens correctly. Will be doing turnip greens in a few hours. Wanted smoked turkey drumstick, but all they had at the store were necks and wings. The necks were way expensive so I got an nice meaty wing. Never have seen tails, but I would have bought them. Oh well. Keep at it Nancy.

Haaa your method of cooking turnip greens so cool.i will follow your recipe always.thanks!!! Miss Phyllis🎁🎁💝💝

Hello beautiful! You did that! I was so glad to see someone actually prepare and cook greens like I do. Excellent presentation ☺️☺️

My mouth is watering. I can almost smell them cooking!!!

Excellent! Growing my own turnips for the very first time...always bought frozen from the store. I cleaned my fresh picked greens along with you...i had my turnip roots already going on the stove with hog jowls...this is going to be great eating! Thank you! I can't figure out how to share a photo of my pot cooking though.😁

Thanks for sharing!! I usually cook collards but this year for New Years I’m going to make turnips! 💗

I’m from Alabama also but has never prepared turnip greens thanks for the extensive details much needed ❤

Thank you for sharing guys.

Nancy, thank you so much for this video. I did not grow up eating turnip greens; but bought some today from the farmers market and needed some help. Great tutorial !

It looks divine!

I love ❤️ your video. I am picking turnips and mustards as we speak and I normally wash them in baking soda or salt ... today I washed them in salt since you are washing yours in salt. 😆 I do know how to cook greens since I grew up in the country and my mom cooked them all the time but I love to watch different videos to see how people prepare them and I love what you did. I do put some sugar and my greens, ... not to make them sweet but just enou.gh to take the bitterness out. I'm using a combination of ham and bacon this time.

Oh, my, my, my! Absolutely enjoy the turnip greens...and collards...and kohlrabi...and mustard...and.... Your presentation is spectacular! Reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. Yes, almost all leaves had vinegar added to them after the cooking as well. Coming from Polish ancestry, garlic is very much added. I also like to flip the tables once in a while and add ground pork sausage. I WILL be making your pepper sauce!

Wow, Delicious! Thanks for sharing. Continuous Blessings!😋

You are my kind of people I love turkey smoked turkey tails they are great and just about everything go ahead

You are a good cook. Yummy. New to your channel. I have found someone that cooks what I liked to eat. Lucky me.

Thanks for this video. I bought Turkey Tails for the first time (Because I could not find any turkey wings or legs in the store) and was not really sure how they would do with my greens. This video was very helpful for me.

Looks delicious!

I was 21 seconds into the video and already knew these would be some crazy good turnip greens...

Sistaaa thank U soo much for this one. I used to watch my mother and grandmother do greens. I picked up on things but never knew the whole process. Got my pot on and wilting them greens down to nothing 😋 😆 🤣 Happy New Year Peace N Love

I love Turnips greens with Kale and Collard greens

Thanks Nancy. I'm growing some turnips in the winter for the first time and I have a few doing pretty good and they look like food now. I've never really cooked them before. Good tip, adding the root to the cooked greens I'm gonna do them just like you did, but probably use bacon instead of the turkey tails. Merry Christmas 2020.

AWESOME!!!

You cook greens similar to how I cook mine. I also use turkey tails and turkey necks in mine. I DO sprinkle a little sugar on my roots and let them soak half an hour. LOVE YOU FLAVORINGS AND TECHNIQUE. GREAT job you SHOULD have at least 100k subscribers. Very nice!

I'm trying to learn how to cook greens and it's amazing how there's different ways to do it I didn't realize you needed to boil it so much and that it took 2 hours

Thank you for showing people how to cook turnip greens I live here in Alabama aswell.

Excellent

Got turnip greens & kale and learning how to cook 👩‍🍳

Such a pretty young lady and can cook! Very well explained. God Bless

Looks delicious

Saving to watch for later 🥰

I put up another collard greens video today and RU-vid recommended your channel....Awesome. My channel is about health and fitness I had to let my leg heal........then we're back to workout videos and healthy eating......

Great video! Please tell me what you do to prepare your greens for freezing? We just bought a deep freezer and I am stocking up for the winter.

You did a great clip

Great job

Thank you for your wonderful video. I like the turnip skins. They taste like mild radishes. I'm curious why no one eats them. Possibly they are store bought. Mine are from my garden, and super delicious!

Thanks for info

Thank you so much

Hello I am not a cook but I do like greens but I will try your way thank you Andrea

Hi Nancy, thanks for sharing the video. I have a question about freezing greens. Do you trim the stems off and wash them BEFORE you freeze them?

Thank you, ma’am very much for sharing.

Alabama, here too! I’m proud to see that you didn’t ruin those wonderful greens by adding sugar! I’ll be following your cooking shows! 🔥🔥🔥

Yummy

Good cooking vid

I watched this video and you are really good at teaching! I am not born and bread in the south but I have lived in Georgia for the last 12 years. Basically I married a fine Southern gentleman who was raised with great cooked southern food. His mama and grandmama were great cooks. I have done good on a lot of the dishes he loves but I have struggled with greens! All most every time I attempt to make them he is polite and eats a couple bites but I end up throwing them out. I think its pretty much about getting good flavor from the smoked meat. But he likes the vinegar and I'm sure the sugar in there. If I make a pot the size you made how much vinegar and sugar should I start with and when do I put it in? Thank you so much! Subscribed because I know I can learn from you. Btw I'm 53yrs old and my daughters always told me I am a great cook so I do cook but it take learning to make great southern food!

What if the turnips are bitter?

Thank you Nancy,this is a great tutorial. Just like talking with a girlfriend.

Have you tried adding the clean stems with a little broth to a blender to grind them up before adding them to the pot liquor?

Me gusto tu video

I have been won over less than 4 minutes into my first video - she's from Alabama and I see two Slap-YA-Mama containers over there with her spices and seasonings. And she is using turkey tails. Now let me sit back and enjoy this video. She obviously knows what she is doing!

Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Very good explicación. You are very nice girl. 🤤

New here from Kansas

I didn't know you could freeze screens can you freeze kale?

Does freezing greens make them tough! Do you par boil them before freezing!

👋🏽 Did you need to parboil those greens before you froze then?

So I don't understand do you pot boil pre-cooked before you freeze them?

Is that bad you're going to add did you freeze it?

I live in Atlanta and use smoked ham hocks instead of turkey tail. That’s something I’ve never heard of. I’ll ask if our grocers carry them.

I smelled them through the phone 😋

Hi I'm new my name is Joyce i like your videos ❤😅

How long do you cook them for?

Exactly how I make my greens minus the turnips and I use smoked turkey legs.

Loud and clear

So far same way my grandma and mama did it (North Carolina).,,

I chop up the thick stems and add to pot.

Damn girl. You ever want to come to Texas you let ME know.

Do you have to blanch your fresh turnip greens before freezing them?

You are too precious!

Hi my name is Joyce I love green ❤

Are you going to ever cook them? Done with washing

Seriously ! My stomach is growling right now. Be thankful I don't live near you. You cooked that girlfriend 😃 New Sub.🍴We be friends now. Thanks for sharing. ❤

Alzo I miss piggly wiggly

I can only afford one piece of bacon

Thank you Queen. I got some greens from someone's garden and it had so much dirt. Thanks for sharing. Now I know how to clean them!!!
