Turnips

Cooking Tips

• Boil 1 part turnips and 2 parts potatoes. Mash with butter, milk. Do not use garlic—turnips are one of the only foods garlic doesn’t match well with.
• Roast with other winter root vegetables until caramelized and serve with meats.
• Steam the turnip greens and serve as a bed for meats or part of a warm greens salad.
• Turnips may be pickled. In Asian countries, they will sometimes be colored with a little red beet juice.
• Other pairings include bacon and cheese, apples and mustard, and onions and vinegar.
• Sauté young turnips until brown and add to a roasting pan with meats at the end of cooking.
