Terrific Turnip

Thanksgiving:

Ever looked at those turnip or rutabaga in the grocery store and thought, “What in the world do I do with these?”

I absolutely love turnip! I even loved them as a kid. It’s one of my very favorite vegetables, and it is an essential dish for the Thanksgiving feast!

In fact, I always make extra for leftovers!

There are many ways to make turnip, but with these root vegetables, to me, Simple is Best!
