• Ingredients: 3
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 lb fresh turnip

Yumm!! I love turnips, especially with butter, you can't go wrong!! I learned a long time ago to peel turnips because their skin is very bitter. It is one of the vegetables where the skin really doesn't taste good (even though it is such a pretty color purple!!!) I steamed a few carrots along with my turnips for some color. Easy and delicious, thanks!!
