Introduction

I was introduced to this recipe by a supervisor when we had one of our holiday meals. I loved it and would always ask her to make it for me. Well, she retired and I went on the search to find a good recipe that I could best compare to her recipe. Olivia, this ones for you!

Ingredients

Turnip Greens

2 bunches turnip greens

Smoked Turkey Wings

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp. crushed red pepper

Dumplings -------------------------

1 cup Buttermilk Corn Meal Mix

1/2 tsp. salt

1 large egg

2/3 liquid from cooked turnip greens

Directions

Turnip Greens

Pick and wash turnip greens in cold water with 1/4 cup of salt added (Salt help with the cleaning of the greens). Wash until water is clear of grit and sand. Ina large pot, put 2 1/2 quarts of water (You be the judge on the water by the bunches of greens you have - these days I think the bunches are getting smaller. I boil the smoked turkey about 1/2 hour. Add greens and other ingredients. Cover and simmer for 2 hours (more or less depending on the size of your bunches).

Dumplings Mixture -------------------------

Mix all ingredients together. I used a small cookie scoop to roll the batter into the perfect ball about 1-inch in size then drop into boiling turnip liquid. Make sure each dumpling is completely covered in liquid by shaking the pot gently; do not stir. Boil for about 10 minutes.
