We grow a special kid of turnips. Many of you may be more familiar with the purple top variety. Remember, when you were young your mom cooked them to death? And they still tasted horrible! Ours are a japanese salad variety, very sweet and tender. WE like them raw, on salads or just alone with a veggie dip.
They are also good roasted and in soup. Try them, don't be afraid!

Here's what we did with the turnips: we added them to a pizza!
Spread 1/2 to 1/4 cup low-fat alfredo sauce (the kind you find in the refrigerated pasta section) on pizza dough (homemade or store bought). Top with fresh spinach (julienned),sliced turnips, sliced olives (black), sliced scallions, and a good handful of shredded parmesan.
Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes--until the dough is firm and "crusty".

These almost have a potato-like quality. I browned them in a skillet with garlic salt, oil, and thyme and added some crushed tomatoes and alfredo sauce until heated. Yummy!
