This is a complex tasting and delicious stew. The prep time took awhile, but it was well worth it. I couldn't find turnip greens where I shop, so I used two bunches of kale instead (stems removed, chopped coarsely). We are avoiding excessive carbs, so I left out the potatoes but did keep in the white beans. It was a delicious dish and I'll make it again and again.
