How To Cook Frozen Turnip Greens

Turnip greens are a nutritious and flavorful addition to any meal. Whether you have a bag of frozen turnip greens waiting in your freezer or you want to try something new, cooking them is a breeze.

Ingredients:

• 1 bag of frozen turnip greens
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: red pepper flakes for added heat

Instructions:

1. Start by thawing the frozen turnip greens. You can either leave them in the refrigerator overnight or use the defrost setting on your microwave. Make sure they are completely thawed before cooking.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
3. Add the thawed turnip greens to the skillet and stir well to coat them with the garlic-infused oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like a little heat, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes.
4. Cover the skillet and cook the turnip greens over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the greens to become tender.
5. Once the turnip greens are cooked to your desired tenderness, remove them from the heat. Serve warm as a side dish or incorporate them into your favorite recipes.
