Add 5 cups fresh turnip greens to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes until wilted.

In a mixing bowl, combine 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, and 1/4 cup sour cream until smooth.

Add 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon cumin to the mixture.

Fold in cooked bacon, sautéed onions, and turnip greens, along with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup white cheddar cheese.

Tear frozen bread knots in half and arrange them around the dip mixture in the skillet.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.

Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
