Mississippi: Turnip Greens

Turnip greens are a must-have on Mississippi’s Thanksgiving table, typically slow-cooked with ham hocks or bacon for a smoky, savory flavor. These greens are tender and full of Southern charm, with a little bit of heat from vinegar or hot sauce. It’s a classic side that adds a bit of tang and depth to the feast.
