Ingredients

4 slices bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 bunches turnip greens, chopped
½ cup strong brewed coffee
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Place bacon and onion in a large skillet and cook over medium heat, covered, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and onions are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.
Place turnip greens into the skillet, a handful at a time if necessary, until wilted down, 5 to 7 minutes. Add coffee, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Taste the liquid and adjust seasonings if necessary. Reduce heat to low or medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes more.
Uncover and cook until liquid has reduced and greens are tender, about 10 minutes more.

Cook's Notes:

You can use collard, mustard, or kale greens instead of turnip.

Be sure to use a balsamic vinegar with a thin consistency.
