Turnips are a root vegetable with purple-white skin and a grassy, somewhat peppery flavor. You can eat them raw or cooked in these turnip recipes. Pickled Turnips is a Middle Eastern favorite and a great way to preserve them. Spring Turnip Frittata makes a nice simple dinner or brunch alongside a tossed salad. And roasted turnips are always a hit—try them in Roasted Root Vegetables with Chermoula.
