    I love me some greens. It doesn’t matter if it’s collards, turnip or what-have-you. Now my dad, who is deceased, used to talk about his Italian mother cooking greens. I only wish I’d asked him just what kind of greens she cooked. So, on a whim instead of using ham with these greens I decided to use some Italian sausage in a nod to my “Naunie”. You could use less sausage if you just wanted a little flavoring, but since we like Italian sausage I used a whole pound.

    Ingredients

    • 3 bunches turnip greens (about 12 oz before trimmed)
    • 1 lb sweet Italian sausage, removed from casing
    • 1 med onion, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 2 teaspoons of salt
    • 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

    Directions

    1. Wash the greens well and cut off any hard stem endings.
    2. Chop the greens moderately.
    3. Brown the sausage meat in a large stock pot, stirring and crumbling with a fork.
    4. Add the remaining ingredients, cover and cook over med-high for 15 minutes or until tender. (I will usually stir the pot 2-3 times).
