We have put them out in S TX for deer and they like the tops pretty well. Problem is the hogs like them too and cause bomb craters in the pasture.

Europeans make a root vegetable mash that can include turnips. It almost always includes potatoes, with a few to several of these - celery root (celeriac), carrots, turnips, rutabagas. It is delicious. Have had it in several countries to include France and Belgium, where I found it to be quite tasty. Had it with rabbit in a wine reduction sauce in a sidewalk cafe in Paris and with homemade sausages in a small cafe in Brussels on a narrow alley way just off Grand Place.
The name the Europeans call the mash escapes me right now. I tried to recreate it once here, but wasn't able to duplicate that fine concoction. A coworker from France I worked with told me it was because I hadn't processed the celery root correctly. Gotta hand it to the Belgians and French. Those folks can cook. Two business trips to Brussels and there abouts in a past life. Ate good both times. Stuff that is not so common in US: Horse meat, prairie oysters, mussels, escargot, skate. All well prepared and very tasty. And true Belgian waffles. No comparison in the US...

Slice it and roast it in the oven with salt and olive oil. Love to eat them. We grow 6-8 acres every year for the deer and I always take plenty for myself.

At that same cafe in Brussels, I ate some horse meat. It was, of course, delicious. Had a yuge bowl of mussels straight from the English Channel waters in a cafe in Honfleur, France, on the Normandy coast. They farm them there by sinking pilings in the water off the beach and hang nets off them for the mussels to attach themselves to and grow.

All varieties are not the same. Try white egg turnip. Mild and sweet even when as big as grapefruit.

The devil made Turnips, then tried to make me eat them. This is the way I am with beets. Hell I even tried to eat em in boot camp. They just got bigger the more I chewed. Goddam elementary lunch lady used to serve beets or lima beans every fuggin' day. Hated her ass.

No to turnips. No to beets. No to all of the squashes and gourd-like concoctions as well. You're just wasting heat, butter, brown sugar, cheese, pepper, and everything else folks try to cover up that garbage with. PHOOEY!!!!!

A tator from our garden last fall! A fraction short of 5 pounds! With your turnup and my potato.....we’d have the beginnings of a hell of a soup! I plant over a nuclear waste site.....what’s your secret? 🤪 memtb
