Turnip Green & Bacon Dip

What you’ll need:

    • 4 slices bacon
    • ¼ cup finely chopped yellow onion
    • 5 cups coarsely chopped fresh turnip greens
    • ½ package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
    • ½ cup sour cream
    • ½ cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese, divided
    • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    • 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
    • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ¼ teaspoon red pepper
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 can (11-oz) original breadsticks*
    • *Pillsbury Original Breadsticks works great with this recipe

Instructions:

      • FIRST Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In your Oklahoma shaped cast-iron
        skillet, cook bacon until crisp, transfer when done to paper towels to let drain.
        Reserve 2 tablespoons of the drippings in skillet. Add onion to hot skillet and
        cook until softened- about 2 minutes. Add greens to cooked onions and cook
        them until wilted, another 4 minutes.
      • NEXT In a medium bowl, stir together wilted greens and onions, cream
        cheese, sour cream, ¼ cup Cheddar, Parmesan, mayonnaise, salt garlic
        powder, red pepper and cumin.
      • FOLLOWING Unroll dough onto a lightly floured surface, separating into 12
        pieces. Roll each into a spiral bun, pinch seams to seal. Place rolls around the
        edge of the skillet, seam side facing out.
      • LAST Spoon out the dip into the center of skillet. Bake until bread is golden brown and dip is bubbly, about 24 minutes, covering with foil during the last 4 minutes of baking to prevent top of dip from drying out.
      • FINISH Crumble bacon and sprinkle over bread and dip along with remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar. Bake until cheese is melted, about 2 more minutes. Serve warm in the skillet.
