  • I am going to try turnip fries today..!!! ....my question is.. do I eat the turnip fries as a veggie, like , do I eat 2 cups of those? can somebody help me im a little confuse
  • Yup just measure them raw. And try and stop at 2 cups. They are delish!!!
  • I went by how much the turnips were before cut and cooked.

    THank you!!
  • I had them last week...peeled them, cut into thin fries (cook better)...added 2 tsp EVOO to fry pan, got it hot and threw the turnips in. Added sea salt, pepper, and mrs dash salt-free spicy herb blend...some garlic and onion powder and stir to mix around the herbs....fried till tender but firm centers and dumped on a paper towel. Then the happy-times began!

    Just awesome!
    Cheers

  • Is this a trick question? A: With your mouth!!! Sorry had to! I'm in one of my "moods"...
  • I just went and got rutabega to do them for dinner tonight, excited.
  • I'm trying something new with them tonight...turnip (potato) salad. Will let you know how it turns out!
  • I use rutabega more than turnip, but in the same recipes. Simply because I found the rutabega to have a milder flavor and really works well in dishes that would normally have potatoes.
    I slice them like fries, then dice them in to smaller pieces. Start them in a skillet, then once they have started softening I add whatever meat I am using that night. Then, I vary what seasonings I use, depending on my mood. My favorite right now is rutabega, ground beef, and curry powder. Yum!!
    This would all work with a turnip also, but the turnip will probably add a little different flavor to your dish.
  • On the rutabega or turnip fries...I have seen two recipes, same ingredients but one says bake at 425 the other says to cook them in a frying pan...has anyone tried both ways and have a preference? The idea of turning the oven on to 425 seems counterproductive to the AC I have running hmm, what to do, though I have plenty where I could cook 1/2 & 1/2 and give you my opinion...that is probably what I will do.

    Cute!
  • I think the rutabaga has more carbs, like twice the calories, and more sugars in it then the turnip...
  • grated and made into hash brown patties!!! a favorite breakfast for supper option...over easy, poached or hard boiled eggs, turnip hash browns, a piece of turkey bacon and come coffee!!

    i also grate turnips and stuff in my homemade cabbage rolls with ground turkey or beef instead to replace the rice!! can also do this with rutabagas in stuffed bell peppers!!
