Spicy, sharp turnip greens, braised gently with a smoked ham hock, are a time-honored accompaniment on southern tables at any time of the year. This version, with the ivory turnips, golden apple, and pink ham nestled among the dark greens, is especially pretty.
Cooks' notes:
•Any braising green such as kale, collards, or beet greens can be substituted for or combined with the turnip greens. Cooking times will vary.
•Dish can be made 1 day ahead and chilled.
