The Turnip Greens Recipe from Cracker Barrel is a must-try at home. Turnip greens have traditionally been a favorite vegetable in the South. Turnip root leaves are preserved and prepared similarly to collard greens or mustard greens.
Salt pork is used in the Cracker Barrel Turnip Greens recipe. Any other pig pieces, such as bacon, streaky bacon (pork belly), pork hocks, or hog jowl, can be used instead. I use pork bacon in this recipe. Although turnip greens can be as bitter as collards, many people sweeten their turnip leaves with sugar. however, is entirely optional.

Final Word:
Cracker-Barrel Turnip Greens Recipe has remained a popular vegetable in the Southern. Usually, with ham or pork, cooks save the leaves from the turnip roots and prepare them in the same way as collard or mustard greens.
When working with fresh greens, it’s crucial to clean them first. Even though the greens are labeled “cleaned,” you should still rinse them to make sure, as sandy greens are awful.
Always make sure you have plenty of hot, freshly made cornbread or cornbread muffins on hand when serving any Southern greens. Serving the greens with basic apple cider vinegar or hot pepper sauce is a delicious addition.
