Glazed turnips make a nice side dish for roasted meats or poultry.
Ingredients
2 lb sm to med (2-inch) turnips
About 1 1/2 cup plus 3 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Garnish: chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Peel turnips, then halve horizontally and quarter halves. Arrange turnips in 1 layer in a 12-inch heavy skillet and add enough water (about 1 1/2 cups) to reach halfway up turnips. Add butter, sugar, and salt and boil over moderately high heat, covered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Boil turnips, uncovered, stirring, until tender and water has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Sauté turnips over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Add 3 tablespoons water and stir to coat turnips with glaze.
