Man I was crying when I saw you discarding the turnip green tops! I love both tops and bottoms. Wife makes “turnip green soup” and puts in freezer for those cold days & nights. The bottoms she cuts as if they were potatoes going into soup, and they are sooooooo good. If you’d like the recipe let me know it is sooooo easy to make and can’t be beaten for good soup anytime but really in winter. I will leave the recipe here for y’all and your subs that might want to try. I will be in next comment. God Bless and wish we lived closer to y’all. But we are in Central Louisiana pretty good drive to Florida.

Howdy from Yuma, Arizona. I also LOVE turnips and I could eat them just by themselves without the greens; just boil them up with some salt and butter.. I also enjoy Greens - Turnip;, Collard, Mustard and I make mine in the Slow Cooker / Crock Pot. DON'T forget the Cornbread & Louisiana Hot Sauce!!!!! Thank you for sharing.

@cynthianelson7401 2 жыл бұрын

Turnip is great cooked with potatoes. Cut all the same size and mash together with salt pepper and butter. They are also great in a boil dinner. In a huge pot put one ham butt, cabbage, turnips, carrots, potatoes, and onions. Cover with water boil until the vegetables are done the ham is already cooked so you are just heating it through. Serve with butter, pepper, and vinegar for the cabbage if someone want. No salt needed the salt from the ham flavors everything. This make several meals. After eating a few times strain the juice but don't through it away use half to cook greatnotheren beans with some of the ham and new onions it is also delicious. The vegetables cut up with some of the ham to make red flannel hash for a hearty breakfast. When your total sick of it freeze the left overs for another time. In the meantime take the ham bone and the rest of the ham and juice to make pea soup. Bring juice up to a boil add a couple of cloves of garlic two bay leaves new onions, and dryed green peas. Cook until peas basically disintegrate then add your chunks of ham in continue to cook until the ham is just warm through. We New Englanders don't waste anything. This is great when you are have a lot of family or friends over for dinner. Easy prep and forget until vegetables are done. No fuss recipes.

Cut the roots into one inch cubes and boil until tender. Season to your taste. Make a cheese sauce as you would for broccoli and add to the drained turnips. So good! You can also use a sauce on tender onions and it is especially good.

We love turnip roots as well as rutabaga's made into fries, spray with pan spray and add creole seasoning and roast in the air fryer. Hubby never liked rutabagas until I grew some one year. The homegrown ones seem to be much milder and easier to peel and cut. Im with Bob, crying when you discarded the greens! I like to mix mustard and turnip greens and cook up with some bacon and just a few of the roots. Now Im hungry for greens! Mmmm!

They are also very good with ribs or neck bones. Put your ribs or neck bones in a pot and cover with water, add salt and pepper to taste. When they are almost done, add your turnips which have been quartered. Cook until fork tender. Serve with a skillet of cornbread and you have supper. Oh, and you can add a little red pepper flakes while they are cooking, if you like a little heat. Enjoy!
