How do you cook turnips?

Question

I want to know everything. Do you peal them, how do u cook them, anything you know will be helpful. I am making them in potroast.

Answer 1

you peel them and slice them like you would slice potatoes and fry them with a little oil. i think you ruin a turnip when you cook it they taste much better raw. the Greens or tops are much better cooked you boil them until they are soft.

Answer 2

wash them peel them, cut off ends, put them in your pot roast first along with your meat; because it takes a little longer for them to cook. Then add the rest of your ingredients,. I use potatoes, carrots,celery, Lipton onion soup mix(dry) for flavoring, onions, beef bouillon cubes.let this cook all day in a large crock pot, or you can do it in the oven on about 350 degrees for a few hours. This is one of my family's favorites. Enjoy! Oh don't forget to quarter your turnips, like potatoes
