Mamaw English's Fried Cabbage and Turnips image

As a child, I would only eat raw turnips. I would eat these though!! My Mamaw was one of the best cooks I ever knew. I love this on lumpy mashed potatoes!!!!

1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 c water

  • 1. In a large skillet, brown bacon, crumble and drain on a paper towel. Reserve for later.
