Turnip

Do you have to let the turnip set out of fridge overnight before cooking for it to taste better?

I find some turnips are bitter and others are not. This is simply due to their point of ripeness when harvested. I like to buy tunips which have alredy begun to sprout a small root, they seem to be the sweetest in the bunch. Leaving your turnip on the counter for a few days prior to cooking will also increase the sweetness. Umpa and I had turnip fries and also whole baked turnips this past week and they were delicious. I even eat the skin on whole baked turinp...a little tough but I was always a potato skin guy in the FAT past.  8)

Mine was wonderful!  I diced it up, sprinkled with seasoning and olive oil and popped them in the oven.  We also had chicken tenders oven fried with pork rind coating.  Husband was thrilled!  :)

I plan to try the turnip as a baked potato. Wal Mart only had 2 packages but I bought both!  Mouseissue- I am trying to keep things and find things that we like so we stay on track.

Amber, our Walmart was sold out of turnips yesterday.  However, I did buy a HUGE jicama!  Not sure what I'll do with it yet....thinking about the hashbrown casserole.  I'm wondering if I could dice it up and roast it like the turnips?  Anyone ever tried that?

I have never tried the potato salad, but I just found it on the recipe exchange and printed it.  Sounds really good!

Found the turnips at Kroger tonight.  So, now I'll let them sit out on the kitchen counter for a couple of days...   ;)

Ok, I finally got around to trying the roasted turnips tonight, and I really enjoyed them!   I tossed them in olive oil and a little Lipton's onion soup mix to give them a good taste!  Wow!  I will do this again!    I also made the artichoke chicken.  It had a nice taste, but it ended up with too much liquid in the dish.  Not sure what I did wrong.

Hi Jan! :)

The way to avoid too much liquid is to bake the chicken half-way without the artichoke mixture,
at halfway, remove the excess water from the baking pan with a spoon, then top chicken with the artichoke mixture and finish baking until done.
