Turnip Top Recipes?

[MeSmith]

Does anyone have any suggestions for what to do with the turnip tops
that were in our boxes this week?

Thanks!

Epicurious.com has a bunch. The following use salted pork for flavoring.  I'd use various salt substitutes instead, and experiment with the spicing (a bit of cayenne?):

But my favorite is a Cajun gumbo with herbs, especially since it uses carrot tops as well:

It does look like braising is the way to go...

I used the turnip tops in this recipe, substituting the turnip greens
for the mustard greens:

It turned out well and made a nice, light, warm weather dish.

In the summer, I frequently make a recipe by Deborah Madison for pasta
with a sauce made of carrot tops, radish greens, and yogurt. I have
subbed many different kinds of greens for the radish tops and it's
always turned out fine, and is also a refreshing, warm weather dish.
It is from the book "Vegetarian Suppers from Deborah Madison's
Kitchen", which I highly recommend. The original recipe doesn't seem
to be available online, but here is one person's adaptation:
