Okay, so not everyone loves turnips as much as we do. But even if you aren't the biggest fan of that radishy root, this recipe might just turn you around. Not surprisingly, cream, butter and onions bring out the savory best in turnips. Recipe from one of my favorite veggie cookbooks - The Victory Garden Cookbook.

4 cups peeled, sliced turnips
2 Tbsp flour
1 teaspoon salt

Such perfect timing! Our CSA sent us turnips and parsnips, and we have acorn squash and baby potatoes. I was thinking of doing a "scalloped" kind of thing, and your recipe showed up! I will definitely try it now.
