I watched The French Cooking Academy Video on Stuffed Turnips with Mushrooms. The recipe seemed pretty easy to follow along with and it came out surprisingly delicious. I have to say these turnips are the most delicious turnips I’ve ever eaten. I ended up with a little extra filling that I will save for an omelet.

Ingredients for around 4 servings

1 lb turnips (4 turnips – washed, peeled and maybe slightly sliced so they are flat on the bottom or just peel them that way.

6 oz mushrooms – cleaned – chopped fine

1 shallot – peeled – chopped fine

1 cup vegetable stock (maybe slightly more if your turnips are bigger)

2 Tablespoons butter ( I used one salted and one unsalted)

2 teaspoons bread crumbs (maybe more if your turnips are bigger)

Directions

Oven needs to be set to 410 degrees F.

Hollow out the turnips.

I used a paring knife and cut a lid for each turnip and dug in with a measuring teaspoon to hollow it out. YOU NEED TO SAVE THE TURNIP INSIDES FOR THE FILLING.

Turnips need to be blanched now to remove bitterness.

They willl need 2-3 minutes depending on size.

Remove from water after blanching.

Turnip middles need to be either chopped well.

They go with a Tablespoon of butter on medium heat for around 5-6 minutes and then put to the side.

Your mushrooms and shallot needs to be chopped small just like the turnip middles. They now go in a pot on medium heat with a Tablespoon of butter for around 6-8 minutes or until all the moisture from mushrooms is gone.

The cooked turnip middles and the mushroom mixture get mixed together and stuffed into the mushrooms.

Pour a spoonful of stock into each turnip. ***(small turnip a teaspoon more if the turnip is bigger)***

Top each of the mushroom fillings with crumbs.

Put a spoonful of stock over each mushroom (again).

Pour up to a 1/2 cup of stock into the pan to steam and flavor the turnips.

Most turnips will need 25 minutes in the 410 degree F oven you can check with a toothpick, fork or knife.

ENJOY!
