    Cook Time 5 min
    Yield 14 servings

    Ingredients

    • 2 pounds peeled turnips, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
    • 12 ounces fresh turnip greens
    • 8 ounces fully cooked country ham or 2 smoked ham hocks
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 3 tablespoons sugar
    • 1-1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt
    • 2 cartons (32 ounces each) chicken broth

    Directions

    1. In a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker, combine all ingredients. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 5 minutes. Allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
    2. If using ham hocks, remove meat from bones when cool enough to handle; cut ham into small pieces and return to pressure cooker. Serve greens with a slotted spoon.
