Twice Baked Turnips Recipes

ROASTED TURNIPS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F. While the oven heats, trim and peel the turnips. Tender baby turnips can be simply scrubbed instead of peeled, but their peel will still be a bit more fibrous than the tender insides. Leave baby turnips whole; cut bigger ones into 1-inch pieces.
• Put the prepared turnips in a baking pan or on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil. Use your hands or 2 large spoons to toss the turnips around a bit to coat them thoroughly with the oil. Sprinkle them with salt.
• Roast the turnips until they're tender and browned. Start checking them after about 30 minutes. Depending on their size and age, it may take up to an hour or more to become completely tender. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper, if you'd like, and serve.

ULTIMATE TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; save skins. To the potato flesh add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 the green onions. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.
• Bake for another 15 minutes.

TWICE BAKED TURNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the stem end from turnips. Rub each with olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Bake for approximately 90 minutes or until insides are soft enough to scoop out.
• Scoop out insides of each turnip, leaving the shell intact. Mash & whip the insides with the sour cream, spices and seasonings. When the insides are a creamy consistency, carefully spoon them back into shells. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees and bake the stuffed turnips for 20-30 minutes until heated thru.

SAUTEED SLICED TURNIPS

Steps:

• Heat a third of the oil over a high flame in large skillet. Add a third of the turnips and shake pan well. Season with salt, pepper and about a third of the cumin. Continue sauteeing until slices are evenly golden brown, about 7 minutes. Repeat twice with similar portions of oil, turnips and cumin.
• Drain turnips well as you make each batch and set aside. Melt butter in the skillet over high heat and return all turnips to the pan to brown slightly. Toss and shake them in pan as they cook, about 2 minutes. Transfer turnips to a warm serving bowl and garnish with parsley.

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 -- .
