  1. You can also ferment turnips. You can shred them like cabbage and make a sauerkraut out of them, called sauerruben. I haven’t done it with turnips yet, but I did ferment parsnips, and they were delicious.

  2. Thanks so much for this roundup. My CSA box has had turnips for a couple of weeks running, so I can use some new recipes. Here’s my new favorite: http://www.healthyeatingforordinarypeople.com/2011/06/turnips-with-or-without-greens.html
