FRIED TURNIP PATTIES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, excluding butter and oil.
• Press 1/3 to 1/2 cup turnip mixture into patties.
• I used a plastic patty maker.
• Add butter and oil to frying pan.
• Heat over medium-high heat.
• When pan is nice and hot, gently place patty into pan and allow the bottom to thoroughly brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Flip and allow the other side to brown.
• Turning them was slightly difficult as the cheese is now molten.
• Remove from pan to paper towel.
• Cool slightly and serve.

FRIED TURNIPS

Steps:

• Peel turnips and slice.
• Add butter to skillet, along with a few drops of oil to keep the butter from burning.
• Melt butter, then add the sugar, stirring almost continously.
• Add the turnips, and additional oil, and bring the turnips to a hard fry, then reduce heat, and cover.
• Cook, stirring often, until the turnips are browned and done -- then enjoy.
• I had them tonite with steak and crab legs -- but am looking forward to pinto beans, corn bread and country fried steak.
• Yum -- .

CRISPY TURNIP 'FRIES'

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil and lightly grease.
• Peel the turnips, and cut into French fry-sized sticks, about 1/3 by 4 inches. Place into a large bowl, and toss with the vegetable oil to coat. Place the Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, paprika, onion powder in a resealable plastic bag, and shake to mix. Place the oiled turnips into the bag, and shake until evenly coated with the spices. Spread out onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until the outside is crispy, and the inside is tender, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

WHAT? FRIED TURNIPS ?

Steps:

• Peel turnips and cut long ways.
• In skillet over medium heat, add oil and let warm.
• Peel onion, we like sweet onions best. Slice then pull slices a part where they are also in strips.
• In skillet, add onions and let start to tenderize, before adding turnips. Sprinkle with S & P.
• Just as you would fry tatters, turn occassionally, so does not stick together.
• Add Bacon chips and put a lid on, then let cook until good and tender, but not burnt ot too brown.
• These are good with Pork Chops, or just a Veggy night. On Veggy night, we have fried Turnips, buttered Carrots, Scallop corn and fresh sliced tomatoes. I serve this with garlic bread sticks. Ummmm, Yum!
