2 pounds farro (4 1/2 cups)
2 bay leaves
Salt

1
Preheat the oven to 375.

Spread the farro in a roasting pan and toast for 15 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until fragrant.
3
In a large pot, combine the farro with the bay leaves and 12 cups of water and bring to a boil.

Let cool slightly.

Drain the farro, discard the bay leaves and transfer the farro to a large serving bowl.
7
In the same roasting pan, toss the turnips with 1/2 cup of the olive oil and the thyme.
8
Set the pan over 2 burners and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the turnips are browned and nearly tender, about 10 minutes.
9
Add the chopped greens, season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing, until just wilted, about 5 minutes.
10
Cover with foil and cook until tender, about 5 minutes longer.
11
Stir in the vinegar and parsley.
12
Scrape the turnips and turnip greens into the farro.
13
Add the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss well.
