I've never made them before, but I've been wanting to. I've noticed that lots of chefs make turnip puree as an accompaniment to some amazing meals. Here's a recipe for Turnip Puree I have squirreled away to try:

Here are a bunch of recipes on Food Networks site. I have done a couple but two I like a lot are Paula Dean's Turnip Mashed Potatoes and first one shown on this page the Braised Red Cabbage and Turnips as well as the Glazed Carrots and Turnips. I've also used them in with a pot roast for example.

Turnip are another of those great root vegetables like beats, potatoes, mustards, radishes, etc. The greens are also good with a taste similar to mustard greens as are most root vegetables. I might add they are also very good for you as well. Rutabaga is a yellow turnip also.

in addition to those suggestions....
store in a dark cool place.
turnips and parsnips are wonderful components for stews - just did a beef stew with both yesterday.
turnips do not have a "strong self flavor" - mashed/pureed etc they have the texture and mouthfeel of potatoes - with twist on taste. you'll probably want to spark up the taste with herbs - parsley, celery, dill, chives, basil are all good - Mediterranean flavors also do well in moderation. I'm partial to tarragon in that class.

Oh, hell no! I love the Scots and kilts drive me wild with desire but there is no freakin' way I am ever eating Haggis.Oh you had to bring up haggis didn't you Ray....
LOL! I was enjoying your new look, Chow!
How about you use a picture of you on a motorcycle, Chow? I seem to recall one that I think would be perfect!

I have a dog named Haggis, lol
Well then simply lick him like another dog would and you know what Scotish haggis tastes like.

He's a Scottish Terrier, I thought it was fitting and NO I'm not going to lick my dog. How did we get from turnips to haggis?? lol
Blame it on Miniman he started it with turnips as a side to haggis.
Ok pre butt then, I've eaten it and hope to never taste it again or any thing from the UK. Love the place absolutely hated the food when I was there. I might add the only place in the whole world I ever got food poisoning too. London from Fish and Chips go figure their only good dish.
