Tips for Preparing Turnip Greens

Rinse turnip greens under cold running water. Chop greens into 1/2-inch slices for quick and even cooking.

To get the most health benefits from turnip greens, we recommend letting them sit for a minimum of 5 minutes before cooking. Sprinkling with lemon juice before letting them sit may be able to help activate their myrosinase enzymes and increase formation of beneficial isothiocyanates in the greens.
