5 veggie 'bacon' slices, chopped

1/2 sweet onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped

olive oil, to taste

1/4 cup dry white wine

1 (16-oz.) package frozen chopped turnip greens, thawed

12 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces

1 (8-oz.) container sour cream

1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

 

 

 

 

 

1. Cook 'bacon' in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat 5 to 6 minutes or until

crisp; remove 'bacon', and drain on paper towels, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings in

Dutch oven.

2. Sauté onion and garlic in hot drippings 3 to 4 minutes, adding oil to taste.

Add wine, and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of

Dutch oven. Stir in turnip greens, next 4 ingredients, and 1/2 cup Parmesan

cheese. Cook, stirring often, 6 to 8 minutes or until cream cheese is melted and

mixture is thoroughly heated. Transfer to a lightly greased 1 1/2-qt. baking

dish. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.

 

3. Broil 6 inches from heat 4 to 5 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned.

Sprinkle evenly with 'bacon'.
