Steps:
- Wash the greens. Rinse the turnip greens under cold, running water, scrubbing them gently with your fingers. Drain the leaves by drying them in a salad spinner, patting them dry with clean paper towels, or spreading them out on clean paper towels and allowing them to air dry. You could also clean the greens by allowing them to soak in a clean bowl or sink of cold water for several minutes to loosen the dirt. Quickly rinse with running water before draining.
- Remove the stems. Cut the stems off at the base of each leaf using a sharp knife. Examine the leaves as you work. If there are any bruised or wilted leaves, toss them out.
- Tear apart the leaves. Use your fingers to tear the leaves into small pieces. Each piece should be about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm). You should have roughly 12 cups (3 liters) of torn turnip greens. If desired, you can also give the turnip greens a rough chop with a sharp knife instead of tearing them apart by hand.
- Sprinkle with lemon juice. Lightly sprinkle the turnip greens with the lemon juice, tossing them gently with your hands to coat. Let the turnip greens sit for at least 5 minutes. The lemon juice helps to activate the myrosinase enzymes in the greens and increase the formation of isothiocyanates. In short, the lemon juice prevents the greens from wilting while increasing their nutritional benefits.

Steps:
- Put the ham in a large stockpot over medium heat. Cook until the ham is crispy and the fat is rendered, about 8 minutes. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to lift up any brown bits.
- Meanwhile, rip the greens into large pieces to make it easier to fit all of them into the stockpot.
- Add the greens to the pot and season generously with black pepper. Pour in the chicken stock and stir to combine. Bring the greens to a simmer and cover the pot. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the greens are tender and the liquid is reduced by half, about 45 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is nearly gone, about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.
