Ahhh...Turnips! This was a new vegetable introduced to us last year through the CSA. We really like a recipe from The Pioneer Woman : Turnips Au Gratin. It's actually really yummy! The turnips just melt in your mouth! I highly recommend you try this recipe!

The recipe was even featured in Ladies Home Journal:

A Couple of Notes about Turnips...
One thing we realized about turnips is that while we really like the young Japanese Turnips that you get during the spring and summer, we are NOT fond of the turnips that we get during the fall/winter. I actually tried making Turnips Au Gratin for Thanksgiving (thinking everyone would LOVE them), but they weren't a hit, since they weren't the right kind. Also, I wouldn't skip on the butter... I learned that the hard way during that same Thanksgiving dish debut... Believe me, the butter is really necessary in creating a creamy base for this dish!
Anyone have any great recipes for turnips?
