These turnip greens are hearty, healthy, and packed with a ton of southern flavors! They're sauteed in butter with onions, bell pepper, and turkey ham, and then they're simmered in beef broth until tender. Honestly, you won't find a turnip greens recipe more delicious than this one. Plus, the best part is that it takes just 5 minutes to prep 'em.
