33 Turnip Recipes for Making the Most of Your Root Vegetables
You might think that turnip recipes wouldn't offer much variety, but you'd be wrong—turnips shine on a tray of roasted veggies or steamed and dressed with a bright vinaigrette. They're wonderful left raw and sliced thin, and excellent layered in a luxuriously creamy gratin. You can mash them, kimchi them, glaze them, braise them, and add them to soup. (And whatever you do, don't discard the greens—we've got recipes for those, too!) Below, you'll find 33 turnip recipes to get you started.
