Delicious Turnips

Turnips have a lovely earthy flavor. For some reason I don’t make them very often.

You really do need to boil them for at least 20 minutes for them to become soft. The are like potatoes in that way.

The butter have a lovely herb feel from the parsley. There really is no need to add salt.

The lemon gives the vegetable a nice bit of tartness.

I opted to use the paprika, so my end result had a reddish color to it.

Overall a very nice side dish, with very little effort!
