1
Wash the Turnip Greens
Rinse the turnip greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and set aside.
2
Chop the Garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.
5
Add the Turnip Greens
Add the washed turnip greens to the skillet and stir well to coat them in the oil and garlic.
6
Season the Greens
Sprinkle the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the turnip greens. Stir to combine.
7
Add Vegetable Broth
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the greens are tender.
8
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the lid, stir in the lemon juice, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
