Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 16 ounces frozen chopped turnip greens
  • 3 slices thick cut bacon (cut crosswise)
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves (chopped)
  • ⅓ cup dry white wine
  • 12 ounces low-fat cream cheese (cut into chunks)
  • 4 ounces low-fat sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Assorted crackers and tortilla chips (for serving)

Instruction

  • Cook the turnip greens according to package directions, omitting salt. Set the cooked greens aside in a colander and let them drain well until you need them later in the recipe.
  • Preheat the oven to broil.
  • Cook the bacon in a large, deep pan or Dutch oven over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until crisp. Remove the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
  • Remove all but one tablespoon of the bacon drippings, leaving it in the pan.
  • To the hot drippings, add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 4 minutes or until onions begin to appear translucent.
  • Add the wine and cook an additional 2 minutes while stirring to loosen any particles from the bottom of the pan.
  • Stir in the cooked, well-drained turnip greens, cream cheese, sour cream, red pepper flakes, salt, ground pepper and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese.
  • Cook, stirring frequently until the cream cheese is completely melted and the mixture is heated through, about 6-7 minutes.
  • Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased 8x8 baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
  • Broil for 4 to 5 minutes or until the Parmesan cheese is very lightly browned.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the reserved bacon.
