This is so rich and I can easily see why it would be a holiday favorite. (I have added it to my holiday cookbook so I remember when the holidays roll around.) Everything works so well together in this recipe and I think these may be the best turnips I have ever eaten. Very different! Thanks for posting this recipe Chef Wally!
