How do I cook a turnip?

Answer 1

A lovely "southern" style turnip can be cooked like this: Dice turnip(s) into 1 inch dices. Dice 1 medium golden onion also into small dices. Meanwhile heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan. Add diced turnip(s) and onion dices and cook until glossy. Add 1/2 cup water or enough water to almost cover veggies. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons soy bacon bits. Cook all until vegetables are soft. Excellent served with fried potatoes, turnip greens and fried, diced hard tofu with vegan pork seasoning. As delicious as your southern grandmother would cook but terribly vegan healthy and "rib sticking" enough for the coldest winter night!

Answer 4

Peel the turnips then dice or chunk and boil in a little water until tender. Drain water and add 1/4 stick of oleo or butter, salt and sugar, cook on low to medium heat. I like to brown them a little in the butter. It gives them a really good taste. I also like them on the sweet side.

Answer 5

YOU DONT! If you dont want to. Turnips are fine to eat if they're peeled. If you DO want to cook it, just throw it in some boiling water for about 10 minutes. That works tooo.
