I always add a little sugar to my greens to remove the "tart" taste.

Changing the water works in removing bitterness from turnip greens. You only need to re-season.

Bitter turnip greens are the best. Why would you want to change them? I have not been able to find any for many years. Any suggestions?

Bitter tasting turnip greens are the best of all. I had Bitter turnip greens with corn meal dumplings, years ago when I visited Southwest Arkansas. I would love to find them closer to my home in Chicago Illinois.

Try Kale or Swiss Chard

I know this isn't the answer to the question but I eat sauteed kale and Swiss chard. Similar to greens but not as much work and no bitterness.

I know of two ways to cook turnips that will not be bitter. The easiest method would be to place a potato in the water while the turnip greens boil. The potato will absorb the bitterness from the greens rendering them just right for eating.

The second option, is to change the water a few times, discarding the old and replacing with fresh water -- this to removes the bitterness from turnips.

Hope this helps!!

If anyone knows of another method or a better way of doing this please speak up.
