I've eaten them once, but someone else cooked them. The were part of a stew. They were delicious and now I want to make them more often, but I don't know how to cook them. Or even how prepare them for cooking. Do they need to be pealed?

I peel them First. I use them in place of potatoes. I make faux mashed potatoes using cauliflower and turnips. I also love roasting them like potatoes!

Things to do with Turnips:

1.Peel, slice into fairly thin rounds, boil till tender, drain, and serve with butter.

2. Peel, slice into matchstick size (start by slicing into thin rounds, then slice up the rounds). Peel and slice an equal amount of carrots. Mix together, steam, and serve as a side dish.

3. Peel, boil, mash, add butter, cinnamon, and perhaps a bit of low glycemic sweetener like agave nectar or coconut chrystals.

4. Peel, chop into cubes, and add to a stir fry (with any other vegetables you liek, and perhaps some egg or rice).

5. Use cubes in any soup or stew or pot pie.

Just had some recently. I had mine cooked with the tops (Turnip Greens). Peel, wash, quartered, place in with greens with about 20-30 minutes cooking time left. Also, I like turnips peeled and boiled in water with a little olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, mashed. Also, put in a veggie or bean stew.

Peel and chop into 1 cm cubes, do the same with carrots peel and chop into cubes. Boil for about 15 mins or until they are soft then mash with a little butter

I made a souffle with them once cause I had some leftover mashed in the fridge. I thought it was pretty good, the recipe was something like this and I just used skim milk/chicken stock in the roux.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cup whole milk, warmed
4 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
5 large egg whites
Kosher salt, as needed
1 cup overseasoned cooked vegetables, chopped

Preparation
1.n a small saucepan, melt 2 ½ tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and whisk in warm milk. Return to heat and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.2.In a small bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, dribble yolks into the saucepan until they are completely incorporated. Scrape mixture into a large bowl and cool to room temperature.3.Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 1 ½-quart soufflé dish with remaining ½ tablespoon butter and sprinkle the bottom and sides evenly with cheese. 4.In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks but are not dry. Fold a third of the whites into yolk mixture to lighten it, then fold in remaining whites. Gently fold in vegetables. 5.Immediately scrape mixture into prepared dish. Transfer to oven and bake until puffed, golden and slightly firm to the touch, about 30 minutes. Do not open the oven door during baking. Serve immediately

This. Turnips are one of the only foods I just can't stand. I do like the greens though, just cooked like any other kind of leafy cooking greens.

Love the soufflé. My family calls it turnip puff. We add nutmeg to ours and if turnip is to strong you can half it with purée carrots to sweeten it.
