This dish was wonderful. I have never cooked turnips and wanted to try. This is the recipe I will follow next time too, and there will be a next time. This is easy and tasty and if you like cabbage, you will like turnips...and this recipe. Thank you for helping me to expand my choices.

Excellent! I'd never had a turnip and was apprehensive...but this was a great recipe to introduce myself to the healthy turnip. I think next time I'll try it with turkey bacon just to keep it on the healthier side.

I was eager to open my kitchen up to seasonal produce, including turnips, even though I'd never cooked with them before. This recipe was super easy to complete and we were rewarded with a tasty and [somewhat!] healthy side dish to our dinner! My boyfriend told me I could make this again so I definitely will be; thank you for introducing me to the world of turnips with this wonderful & easy recipe! It gets 4 stars because it seemed a little runny, even after letting it go on the stove for much longer than the stated cook time; maybe my fault.. so I will cook the turnips differently next time and see if I can get them to be a little less watery!

No idea what orange turnips are. Can't find them here. I used regular turnips. Super easy, really freaking good. No, really. I made a recipe and a half of this only I didn't increase the bacon or the bacon fat. I don't think I can go back to regular mashed potatoes again. Even the littlest loved this.

My husband really loved this a lot better than my standard mashed turnips with maple syrup. The only modification I would make would be to actually use a little less bacon. It was more bacon than turnip practically. I used pre-cooked bacon which worked out perfectly. I did pour the grease into the dish. Next time I will omit this, too. It made it too salty. I think with slightly less bacon and no bacon grease this would be 5* (or at least omit the bacon grease if nothing else). Will make it again for Thanksgiving next year!

This was a great hit at our house. Can't really go wrong with bacon!

This was a delicious side dish, alternative to mashed potatoes. My husband also enjoyed this tasty dish. I used precooked bacon to avoid a mess in my kitchen and omitted the bacon fat. I drained the water out of the cooked turnips before adding the seasoning, I'll definitely make this again.
