ROASTED TURNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss together the turnips, butter, thyme sprigs, shallots, olive oil and some salt and pepper in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Roast until the turnips begin to soften, about 30 minutes. Adjust the seasoning and serve.

ROASTED TURNIPS WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine turnips, cayenne, nutmeg, and oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss well to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan and toss gently to combine. Arrange turnips in a single layer and roast until golden on both sides, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

TURNIP BURGERS

Steps:

• Put the lean ground beef in a bowl.
• Peel the turnip and cut the turnip into slices or chunks. Put it into the bowl of the food processor. If you don't want to use a food processor, grate it finely on a grater.
• Peel the onion and place it into the food processor along with the turnip, or grate it finely also.
• Process the turnip and onion together until finely ground.
• Put the turnip and onion in the bowl with the ground beef and mix thoroughly with your hands.
• Form into 6 patties. Sprinkle patties with salt and pepper. Place patties on a cookie sheet.
• Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Turn burgers over after 10 minutes. Bake until your desired doneness.

THE BEST EVER TURNIPS

• Bring a lot of salted water to a boil and parboil the turnips for 7 minutes; add the garlic and boil 1 minute longer; drain.
• Melt 8 to 12 tablespoons of butter and cook the garlic and turnips, covered, over low heat for 5 minutes.
• Transfer turnips and garlic to a food processor and puree until smooth, adding 4 more tablespoons butter with the machine turned on. Season well with salt and pepper and, if made in advance, reheat in a double boiler.
