Stuff your face with Turnip

Root veggies had gone well so far, but Turnip can be an acquired taste as it is a tad stronger sometimes than the others.  Like many of the others, I cut it into fry shape sticks tossed it in olive oil and baked it at 400 degrees for roughly 35 minutes.  She went through it just like the sweet potatoes!  In fact she tried shoving entire fries in her mouth, which ended up being too much for her little mouth to handle so she'd have to spit some of it out.  But she definitely liked it!

As of this blog, we haven't tried the puree yet, but its made up and in the freezer!!

Recommendation:
Turnip: Clean and Peel the turnip. Chop into fry shapes, toss in olive oil and bake at 400 for 35-45 minutes until tender.  It will soften a bit more after it cools.
Turnip Puree: Clean and chop in half, place cut half down on a baking sheet with a bit of olive oil.  Bake for 45-60 minutes until center is tender.  Allow to cool, peel, cut into large chunks and puree with some water in a blender.  You may need a decent amount of water as the turnip is a pretty thick vegetable.
