Boiled Turnips

Wash turnips and cut off the unusable parts of the ends.  Boil
until soft enough to get a fork in and out easily.  Remove from
water and mash.  Treat like potatoes.  Add butter, milk, seasonings,
whatever you like.  Serve hot.  

Note: some varieties of turnips tend to be watery and this recipe
will be bland if you get that kind of turnip.  I have no idea how
to tell without eating a cooked one.

Use in any soup for which you would use potatoes or parsnips.
Matzoh ball soup and chicken soup are classics.

Slice thin and fry in oil for a stir fry.  Radishes are awesome
this way too.

Use raw grated or cooked mashed turnip in place of similar prepped
potatoes in pancakes or similar fried foods.
