We just have it diced and steamed not mashed. Now several of my grans tasted them before cooking and they love it raw :D

asiago cheese? I don't think I am familiar with this. Where can I find asiago chees? Does it have another name? All the Turnip
recipes sound good. Turnips have purple tops.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I buy asiago cheese at the supermarket. It's not quite so hard as parmesan, but harder than cheddar and has kind of a nutty flavour. You can probably substitute parmesan or grana pardano. If there is an ethnic grocer around, or specialty shop, asiago cheese originated in Italy.
Time to go do some cooking!!

I like to peel them, slice them thin -- like maybe 1/4" -- refrigerate them & use as a crudite & dip them in some kind of sour cream dip -- maybe onion dip.

Ok, I am going to try all 3 of these recipes posted. I have not eaten a Turnip in years. I LOVE Parsnips and Rutabaga's, and put them in my stews all the time during the winter. But Turnips. I am going to try the first dish for Thanksgiving. Thanks gals, I will let you know how we liked it. I'm a North Dakota gal, and we did have turnips, I just didn't eat them as a kid, like the parsnips and rutabaga's, that is a LEARNED taste. Parnsips to me are just an overgrown carrot and I really love root vegetables.
