Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 bunches turnip greens, chopped
  • ½ cup strong brewed coffee
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Place bacon and onion in a large skillet and cook over medium heat, covered, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and onions are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 2
Place turnip greens into the skillet, a handful at a time if necessary, until wilted down, 5 to 7 minutes. Add coffee, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3
Taste the liquid and adjust seasonings if necessary. Reduce heat to low or medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes more.

Step 4
Uncover and cook until liquid has reduced and greens are tender, about 10 minutes more.

Cook’s Notes:

You can use collard, mustard, or kale greens instead of turnip.
