Me either . . . lucky I learned how to get rid of the Turnip TASTE. Peel them BEFORE you cook them. When you peel off the outer layer you will find a thin white line about a 1/16" below the top layer.
Simply peel that thin white line away. NO more turnip taste.
See my Grandma's Potato Soup, page 17 in Volume 3 and her Potato Salad page 11 in Volume 6 recipes. I use turnips and NO one knows unless I tell them.
Less starch and sugar than potatoes. See comparison and nutrition values on page 43 in Cooking with Judy.
