I finally tried this over the weekend! It was awesome, tell Nana thanks for the yummy recipe 🙂 With my veggie delivery service, I am learning to like all sorts of vegetables that I hated growing up. (beets, turnips, kale, radishes, etc.) You’ve given me the best recipe ever (sweet potato casserole – I’ve used it every Thanksgiving & Christmas for the past 10 yrs), so you are definitely my go to expert on veggies! Anything you post is good!

I appreciated your chat about making recipes that remind you of someone you loved. That is so true! My mom had particular recipes that were standards at holiday tables and when she passed I gathered a bunch of her most “famous” recipes and had them made into a small cookbook for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to treasure for generations to come. Inside the back cover I placed a photo of she and Daddy and a couple paragraphs about their life together and that great cooking was the centerpiece that brought friends, family, and their church functions together. I think that is one of the greatest gifts to pass down beyond small heirlooms from years past is the gift of recipes that when served invite that loved one who’s passed on to sit with you at the table once more as you recall those treasured moments with them.
This recipe looks amazing and I am looking forward to trying it tonight. Thank you!

I’ve only ever enjoyed turnips roasted. But this looks really good and something I need to introduce my family to.

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever tried a turnip. I would most definitely try this turnip puff though!

This looks like a delicious option! I’d like to make this for a holiday dinner. I never cook with turnips!

I love turnips and can’t wait to try this. If I don’t make a hash of it (I’m following-a-recipe-impaired) I just might put this on our menu for Thanksgiving Dinner.
