Heat wok or heavy sauce pan in med high to high. Put 2 tsp butter and crushed red pepper till the butter has melted.
Add chopped shallots and sautee until it starts to get translucent. Add garlic and sautee until onions have just started to become golden brown. Add rinsed and drained diced tomatoes and diced turnips and let them cook till tomatoes have been cooked slightly. Add the fresh turnip greens and fold into the tomatoes, onion, garlic mixture.

Any kind of broth or stock would work fine, whatever you have on hand, which I always have homemade chicken broth. Could be vegetarian dish with vegetable broth though.

    I have a garden full of greens and needed a new healthy way to cook them, so THANKS! I used more greens than 4 cups, but wish I had used at least half as much red pepper. VERY hot for my taste, but I've rarely cooked with red pepper, so wasn't sure what "my taste" needed. - 11/1/10
