I am asked to make this dish every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I call it "Unexpected" because I find turnip to be a "love it or hate it" kind of veggie - and this dish turns some turnip haters into turnip likers. Read more It is a light alternative to the regular turnip fare. See less

- 1/2 tsp salt shopping list

How to make it
