This was the first year I got to make all of the sides for Thanksgiving and I decided to try a new way to make the turnips. This was a very successful dish everyone loved it. Only bad thing was there were no leftovers :)

I wanted a few turnip recipes because on occasion, I do like them. I agree with another reviewer that the proportions are all off. I used 1 teaspoon of bacon fat and 2T of brown sugar and kept the rest of the ingredients the same. If I find another turnip recipe, I’d replace this one with it as this was ok, nothing to write about and wouldn't serve it to guests.

Edible, but I was very disappointed that I wasted bacon on this dish :( I should have just eaten the bacon by itself

I thought this was a great way to use the turnips which were part of my organic vegetable delivery. My husband, who had said he would not eat turnips, remarked that they were well disguised. I also added about a pound of cooked fresh green beans to the dish, which made it an even tastier, more substantial meal. I would definitely make this again.

All my life i have hated turnips. i used to leave the house when my mother cooked them and refused to sit at the same table if they were served. For some reason, I decided (now that I am much, much older) that I would give them an "adult" try. WOW! I wish my mom would have made them like this. I've missed out on a great fall dish.

This will be a new tradition in our home; could even be a sweeter hummas-like dip for pita chips to please those with a sweet tooth at parties. I just processed it in blender until smoother for that use.

To die for! This recipe will make a turnip lover out of anyone! I cut back the brown sugar a tad and added more bacon fat.

Had a houseful of people when I tried this recipe all but 2 kids liked it. All 6 adults liked it. None of us have liked turnips any other way. I used about half the bacon, because that was all I had on hand.
