OMG. I have never had turnips in my life and made this for our Thanksgiving this year. This dish was out of this world! My 11 year old said he would rather have this than mashed potatoes and I think we all agree. Thanks so very much for posting! OUTSTANDING!!!

Because we had so many turnips in our garden I was delighted to find this delicious recipe. My friends seemed to like it too because they keep asking for this recipe. Lyh

Who would ever think that turnips could taste so good?! These are wonderful. My husband said they almost taste like a dessert. My three year old even cleaned his plate (this is a small miracle!). You've even inspired me to grow turnips in my garden this year! Thanks for posting this awesome recipe.

SUPERB! We just grew turnips in the back yard and wanted to try out a recipe that would do them justice. The turnips were good, and the recipe was a masterpiece. My husband said that these were the best tasting turnips he had ever eaten. Delicious and easy to make. I used crushed Ritz crackers instead of breadcrumbs.
