Notes
- The flavor of a turnip is inversely proportional to its size; smaller turnips will have a sweeter, mild flavor, while the larger ones have stronger flavors.
- Change your seasoning to suit your taste preference. Sprinkling a little bit of onion powder is also a great seasoning idea.
- Be sure to cube the turnips for the same size to ensure they all cook evenly.
