Turnips, anyone?

OK, so I have a few (large) turnips... and want to do something other than the "boil/mash/butter" thing. Sure, it's a root veg, but there must be something other than treating the turnip like a spud.

I like the flavor of the turnip!

Any ideas for a recipe? A soup perhaps? Roasted?

Signed,
"Clueless"

ps - thx in advance for your ideas.

1. turnip pancakes...

grated, steamed or roasted turnip as a replacement for rice

grated turnip in a salad

make a beet or squash soup and throw in chunks of turnip (or mash the turnip with the beets or squash)

cut it in half, scoop it out, stuff and bake it

whatever you do, be sure to include those huge radishes in the stores now

all of the above I've done, but there's more here-- http://allrecipes.com/recipes/fruits-and-vegetables/vegetables/turnip/

BTW, are these purpletops or the big orange rutabagas that a lot of people call turnips?

2. The only way I liked turnips was in soup or roasted

I don't like turnips and roasting seemed to tame them enough that I could get them down.

Boiled and mashed? Gag time.

5. Roasted is always good for a root veggie, imo. And I add turnips into New England boiled dinner.

A standard in my family - potatoes, turnips, carrots, onions - all the things along that line of vegetables.

6. I love turnips too.

My aunt made creamed turnips, I always loved that dish. They are good when added to a vegetable stew or soup, add depth to the flavor of the broth. If I make a pork roast, I always add a sliced turnip, plus an onions and some celery. The 3 vegetables cook down into the meat drippings and you have a great base for a flavorful brown gravy.

When I was a kid, we'd eat them raw, sliced thin with a little salt on them.

Somebody screwed up big time, but I dunno who.

For the first time in the thirteen years that the cooking and baking forum's existed on Skins's island, nobody started a "what's for supper?" thread.

The first time that's happened.

There is no excuse for turnips.

Turnip pancakes . . . :puke:

Sounds like something you'd feed someone as a punishment.

Turnips, anyone?

In Bernie Sanders' socialist Utopia, turnips and sawdust will be the staples of the People's diet.

This DUmmy is one step ahead of the rest.

This reminds me of The People's Cube, and all the things they do with beets.   :lmao:

New England Boiled Dinner...now why would anyone think that's a good idea?  When we first moved to Maine, we were astonished how flavorless all the food was.  Even the clam chowder, which can be excellent if done right, was as bland as snow.

I agree with the dem in texas dummy, turnips are good in beef stew or pot roast where they cook for a very long time and flavor the sauce. I don't care for them at all otherwise.

You're right.  I'll bet the primitives think the People's Cube is a legitimate recipe sharing site.

Don't forget the vomit stew as a side dish! :runaway: :puke:
