Cooks' Note

Turnip greens are very nutritious, supplying 40 percent of the United States recommended daily allowance for vitamin A and 33 percent of vitamin C, two of the three key antioxidants. Two 14 1⁄2-ounce cans chicken broth can be substituted for the water. If you cook the greens in chicken broth, do not drain. Add the contents of the skillet to the saucepan with the greens, bring to a boil, and boil for 1 minute. Serve the greens in small bowls, along with the cooking liquid.
