Justaprogressive has a thread on this forum entitled "5 Vegetable Tops You Should Never Throw Out," and I was reminded, "Wow, use those greens on those turnips you just pulled." First, here's a pic of the two turnips I grew:
I know, I know. Gorgeous. (Takes a bow.)
On the site are links to recipes for radish greens, carrot tops, etc., and I made note of a couple recipes other than bruschetta that I wanted to try. They didn't have a recipe for turnip greens, though, so I found this site that had a great idea! Make it a bruschetta all day long adventure, so I decided to do that. My first effort for turnip greens is pictured here, with red onion, garlic, and olive oil.
I tried this with goat cheese and also Swiss cheese. So delish.
Here's the all-day-long bruschetta extravaganza concept:

That's all I'm having, except for kombucha (cherry).

(1,822 posts)I love turnip and beet greens - radish greens always seem a little prickly and off-putting though.
Vietnamese-inspired main dish: banh mi salad https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1027071-banh-mi-salad?unlocked_article_code=1.ZU8.LlUo.OhMs3_0k5b1e&smid=share-url
Midwestern side dish: corn on the cob, just because it's best in season
German dessert: Plum cake with streusel. I'll link the recipe, though it's in German. Google's translation was pretty weird in a few places, though if you can read German, it's pretty doable, fairly simple method. https://emmikochteinfach.de/einfacher-zwetschgen-streuselkuchen/
