Turnip Green Soup

Submitted by shalomhome

"A truly easy, healthy, delicious and satisfying Southern style soup. Make it for New Year's lunch and substitute black eyed peas for the northern beans and you have the perfect good luck meal..all of you Southerners know what I mean. Cooking time is approximate, the doneness of the greens determines when it's dinner time. I like it to cook a little over 30 minutes, some might prefer it to cook longer, don't cook it to death though. The turkey sausage will become dry. Serve with corn bread (made in a cast iron skillet...It's dinner time y'all!)"
